Resource configured to use "Forward Received Hostname" is not removing the port from the client requests

The following example shows the issue - note that the web server (ncsles10.lab.novell.com) is listening on TCP 8080 but is being accelerated at the proxy (lag129.lab.novell.com) on TCP 443.

 

1. Client sends a request to the proxy. The proxy forwards the request as

 

GET /servlets-examples/ HTTP/1.1
Host: ncsles10.lab.novell.com:8080
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/x-ms-applicati

2. Get a response back from the Web server referencing objects on TCP 8080
