Reverse url doesn't container port-number

[Lars Solberg]

When developing sites, you are often ending up with using something that is not port 80 or 443 to test your site.
Looks like this breaks the stuff like from django.core.urlresolvers.reverse.
Digging into the problem, I found that the problem was around ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.7/django/http/request.py#L129

The solution is fairly simple by changing the current_uri line to eg:
"""
current_uri = '%s://%s%s%s' % (self.scheme,

self.get_host(), ':%s' % (self.METASERVER_PORT if self.METASERVER_PORT not in ['80', '443'] else ), self.path)

"""

However, I have the feeling that this would have been fixed a long time ago, and is probably left out by design. Or?

Since Django might be running behind reverse proxies, and ending up having a SERVER_PORT that is not the "correct" port. Maybe this is better to have as a configurable option?

What about the logic in get_host(): ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/d92b08536d873c0966e8192e64d8e8bd9de79ebe/django/http/request.py#L65-L75

Maybe your Web server isn't setting the headers appropriately?

Sorry for the late response, but this helped me a lot to fix my issue! Thanks!

I ended up writing a mini-middleware to get this to work based on an environment-variable.
