I generated a free certificate with https://letsencrypt.org/ this morning
and tried to get this working again.  I have been successfully accessing a
server using a publicly accessible URL over port 22443 with SSL for a long
time now on a Fedora machine with my Windows Firefox computer.  I have been
unable to access it from my Android phone until today when I put it on the
standard 443 port.

The problem seems to be that the Android client does not recognize the
non-standard port.  It says my application URL is https://myserver.com and
that the public URL is https://myserver.com:22443.  Changing the server to
listen on 443 and fixing this on Android Firefox solves the problem and the
device syncs successfully.

I used the information from this blog to get things rolling:
http://www.ncalexander.net/blog/2014/07/05/how-to-connect-firefox-for-android-to-self-hosted-services/

Is this a bug in the Firefox plugin?  The server listens on the
non-standard port as a way to prevent unwanted https traffic.  I'd like to
do this if I could.

Thanks!
Jerry
