That is exactly what Nicholas has implemented. ie with curl you use the url
http://host/:port/webhdfs.
hdfs://host:port/path and webhdfs://hostx:portx/path are consistent wrt to the
path.
While it would nice to be consistent for http, we cannot because of other
services using the same port.
So I think we have an agreement on this.
