As Hans reported, a newer snapshot did solve the problem.  I suspect this

	* htcommon/URL.h: Moved DefaultPort() from private to public for
	use in HtHTTP.cc.

Fri Sep 14 09:25:20 2001  Gilles Detillieux  <gr...@sc...>

	* htnet/HtHTTP.cc (SetRequestCommand): Add port to Host: header when
	port is not default, as per RFC2616(14.23). Fixes bug #459969.
