Or even a few hours for some of us.  ;-)

Sorry for not being clear. I was giving that info as background 
and to show how I was working around the issue.

To confirm, I'm using a rewrite rule such as:

     # uses custom port on backend to indicate https - sets HTTPS=on
     # Catalyst app base is /progs
     RewriteRule ^/progs/(.*)$   
http://%{SERVER_NAME}:8627/progs/$1 [P]

I'm printing this to error_log (request for https://www.resultsplus.com.au/progs/):

INFO - ***Root::auto HTTPS: on
INFO - ***Root::auto HTTP_HOST: www.resultsplus.com.au:8627
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->path:
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->secure: 1
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->base: https://www.resultsplus.com.au:443/progs/
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->uri: https://www.resultsplus.com.au:443/progs/
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->uri->scheme: https
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->uri->opaque: //www.resultsplus.com.au:443/progs/
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->uri->port: 443
INFO - ***Root::auto c->req->uri->host_port: www.resultsplus.com.au:443
INFO - ***Root::auto c->uri_for: https://www.resultsplus.com.au:443/progs/

I believe this is an issue with the URI module adding port 443 
since the port in the request is not the 'standard' https port. 
Assuming that is accurate, what is the correct way in Catalyst 
to 'correct' the URI value? Is it a bug or something I need to 
be doing differently?

Thanks,
Charlie
