[Building Sakai] Strange - proxyPort needed in serverl.xml to get request.getServerPort() to work

Mon Mar 19 19:14:04 PDT 2012

Hmm, I run this on tomcat 7.0.21 (unmodified) and it returns 8080

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java"  %>
<%
  String path = request.getContextPath();
  String getPort=Integer.toString(request.getServerPort());
%>
<html>
<body>
Port is <%=getPort%>
</body>
</html>

Weird that it would change for you, or detect it coming in as port 80.
