Fair enough, although I've seen heaps of examples using 
%{HTTP_HOST} so I followed along.

REMOTE_HOST seems to be the client host name, not the server. So 
I don't think that's the one you meant. Did you mean SERVER_NAME 
instead? Since SERVER_NAME seems to give the value I expect, 
I'll switch to using that. Still doesn't really solve the core 
issue though.

When I generate a URI string with $c->uri_for(...) and HTTPS=on, 
then I get :443 as part of the URI string. What can I do in my 
Catalyst config (or elsewhere) to prevent :443 being included in 
the URI string?

Thanks,
Charlie
