which port ? 80 or 443

Title: which port ? 80 or 443

  Hi,
     I  configure a  Linux system to run Apache and Jserv and SSL.  The server is listening to both port 80
    and port 443 (for SSL). 
    
     I have a servlet running on the system to print out which port is request is coming form
    
     The problem is no matter what port ( 80 or 443 ) the URL request is coming in.  The servlet always
     prints out port 80.  I use the gerServerPort() function of the request object to retrieve the port number.
    

     Any idea why ?  Does Apache need to have port 80 open always ?

  Thanks!
