you are the first to report it.  you are correct, it should include the
port number in the Host header (as you probably know it's ok to omit the
port number when it's the default, but it must include it otherwise).

at the moment I'm not sure what the proper fix is, I'll have to add it to
the TODO list.

the --server-name header has it's own problem, as you may have seen before:

however, that does not fix the issue you have found.
