[Zope] BASE and nonstandard ports (RE: [Zope] w3m (alternative to lynx) and Zope. ) and Zope. )

[Terrel Shumway]

BTW: Mozilla currently has the same problem with <base> and non-standard
ports.

What document should I refer to when reporting the bug? RFC ???

Hmm.... that would indeed be the cause of the misbehaving BASE tag. 
HTTPRequest constructs the BASE either from HTTP_HOST, or, if omitted, from 
SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT.

You can confirm this by opening 
http://servername:serverport/path/to/Zope/REQUEST in w3m (in your case 
http://bespin:9090/REQUEST), and then look for the HTTP_HOST and SERVER_URL 
environment variables. If they read bespin, and not bespin:9090, then w3m 
is to blame and a bug report should be filed with its creator.
