The Port directive in Apache-1.3, which used to perform this role, has also
been removed, easing configuration for all users.</p>
- <p>If the port has been specified, then automatic redirections
- (e.g., by the <a href="mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a> module) will
- <em>always</em> use the given port, no matter what the actual
- request's port number was. If no port number was specified, however,
- the setting of <a href="#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</a>
- decides whether the default port (80 for http://, 443 for https://),
- or the actual port the request came in on, will be used in redirections.
+ <p>See the description of the
+ <a href="#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</a> directive for
+ settings which determine whether self-referential URL's (e.g., by the
+ <a href="mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a> module) will use the specified
+ port, or the port to which the client connected.
