Hello,
I was using Fossil in Haiku, and noticed that its web interface via
`fossil ui` no longer works in Web+. (Note that `fossil ui` automatically
launches Web+ after it is entered in the terminal.)
I get the following error dialog box in Web+ after running `fossil ui`
from the command line...
'''Error loading http://localhost:8080/doc/tip/www/index.wiki: Connection
refused'''
If I run `fossil ui --port 80`, then it works perfectly. Any port other
than 80 results in the "connection refused" error message. Qupzilla loads
the URL just fine regardless of the port, so it only affects Web+. Also,
using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost does not at all remedy the problem,
as I tried that as well to be thorough.
Steps to reproduce:
$ pkgman install fossil
$ mkdir repos fossil
$ cd repos
$ fossil clone http://fossil-scm.org fossil.fsl
$ cd ../fossil
$ fossil open ../repos/fossil.fsl
$ fossil ui
Please note this is a GCC2 hybrid build, hrev47571, running HaikuWebKit
1.4.1-3.
(The About window for Web+ needs updated, as it mentions HaikuWebKit 1.4.0
still.)

Comment (by pulkomandy):
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. When requesting
http://localhost:8080, Fossil sends a redirect to
http://localhost/doc/tip/www/index.wiki (the port is gone). However, other
browsers seems to get away with this.
Manually loading the page at http://localhost:8080/doc/tip/www/index.wiki
exposes more problems, however, as all resources are referenced using
relative URIs ("/path"), and this time it's WebKit failing to add the port
to the requests. I will have a look. I noticed Fossil uses the
{{{<base/>}}} html tag, this time with the proper port. So there's no
reason WebKit gets things wrong here.
