Sure you didn't end up down-grading Catalyst::Engine::Apache?

At one point it only would remove port 80 but in recent versions it
removes both 80 and 443:

   if ( $port !~ /^(?:80|443)$/ && $host !~ /:/ ) {
        $host .= ":$port";
    }

The old version would have left the 443 on the url.

My version has this, but I think I added that to my copy of 1.11

    unless ( $host =~ /:/ ) {
        $host .= ":$port"
            if ( $c->req->secure && $port != 443 )
            || ( !$c->req->secure && $port != 80 )
    }


Hum, I see I have a hacked version of RequireSSL that creates a URI
object and then sets:

    $uri->scheme( $scheme );
    $uri->port( undef );

if I don't have a secure and non-secure host setup in my config (i.e.
my host name is same for ssl and non-ssl).
