I agree. I just tried (using the Konqueror browser) the URL http://www.squid-cache.org:0 and it simply ignored the specified port 0 and used 80 by default as usual. Just to be certain I also tried a URL on a web server I run myself, and which I know is definitely not listening on port 0, and that worked as normal as well.
