Re: eliminate need to type a port number.

By default, in the HTTP world, if a port is not specified the port is
assumed to be 80. Assume this is HTTP server 1. And assume HTTP server 2
(with port) contains sub_page.

The only way I can think of off hand to get to the sub_page without
specifying port is to give a users URL to sub_page on the first server,
and in server 1 you have a redirect[1] configuration directive that
redirects the request to server 2.

I am trying to avoid using any word that might have a defined meaning in

the HTTP world. Baby steps, but apparently thats about all I can

handle.

I have two landing pages for users to access the i's HTTP servers; lets
call them main_page (port 80) and sub_page (port(10020).

Is it possible that these addresses could work correctly, without
specifying a port number?

* main-page = INVALID URI REMOVED
u=http-3A__i.server.com&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=1i-

* sub-page = htttp://i.server.com/sub-page

I believe the answer is yes but I can not figure out how to make the
sub_page work without the port number.
