Removing port-# from url

Hi all

First, the problem:
We are doing a site that's running on Oracle 10.1.2.0 and for some odd
reason, relative links on that site, always adds the server port (80)
to the url. (More precisely, the port isn't added to the link itself,
but after clicking a relative url, the resulting page suddenly has the
port-number in it.)

Anyway that wouldn't normally be a huge problem, but since we are
using Google Maps, the Google Map api key no longer matches the url,
and our poor users gets a javascript alert-box that states that the
google map key isn't valid for that url.
(It only happens on the Safari browser, btw, but still)

I'm struggling with mod_rewrite to find a way to remove that port-
number from the url.

How can I rewrite mysite.com:80/yadda/ to mysite.com/yadda/?

Big thanks in advance!

Martin

Assuming the application server, being apache with a tweaked config.

That is clicking <a href="nextpage.html"> makes the address bar show
http:/site.domain.tld:80/path/of/referer/nextpage.html ??

Cannot reproduce this using SafariForWindows 3.04 (523.25).

Is the :80 added *only* for your site on OracleAS ??

Try
rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} :80/
rewriterule (/yadda.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [QSA,L]

Combined with the true cause it may result in an endless loop of redirects
....
Rather scrub OracleAS config for any :80 following some Proxy* directive.

Thank you for your response - unfortunately, I didn't have much luck
with it. (Btw the 'yadda' was just meant to be 'anything-after-the-
first-slash ... :-).
But the url to the site is here: http://tgt.dk

If - on Safari on Mac - I click any of the colored buttons at the top
for example (guide/inspiration/ticket) I get the port into the url ...
it's very strange ...

Best regards
Martin

Could have been 'something' for first folder ...

Same for Safari-on-Windows ...

Using FireFox with liveHTTPheader-add-on I can see OracleAS doing some odd
redirect introducing the :80.
GET /ticket/fly HTTP/1.1
Host: tgt.dk
Cookie: ...

HTTP/1.x 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://tgt.dk:80/tgt/ticket/fly/
Content-Length: 0

I do not blame Safari for not dropping the *given* value, even if it matches
the default.... I just thank others for dropping the redundant information.
I may blame Google map for discriminating between the same value given and
assumed -and for just relying on a referrer!-

Finally I'ld rather blame [your] OracleAS for introducing a redundant and
confusing redirect.
