Summary:  Missing port value in HTTP Host header

Original Submission:  When MLDK connects a Gnutella Web Cache the hostname in 
the Host header is not followed port value even if the server isn't on TCP port 
80. For example, if the server is on port 8080, the header should look like 
this:

Host: gwc.example.com:8080

MLDK however sends this:

Host: gwc.example.com

Which implies port 80. Most HTTP servers probably ignore this, but I wouldn't 
rely on it. I assume this a generic problem of the HTTP interface and not only 
in the Gnutella plug-in.
