#33821 new defect (bug)

redirect_canonical does not consider port in $compare_original

Description (last modified by johnbillion)

In the wp-includes/canonical.php file the $requested_url is built starting at line 64. It combines is_ssl() for protocol, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] - but it does not consider $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']

This causes a redirect loop for us because we run HTTPS on port 8443.

I suggest checking to see if a port other than 80 or 443 is being used and adding that as part of the comparison - suggested patch attached.

As previously mentioned in #34672 I find the following issue :

I am able to open wp-admin and everything works well.
When I open my home page, I get a redirect loop.
On further investigation, it seems redirect_canonical() in wp-includes/canonical.php is the culprit. It finds the :

And the extra :80 causes the condition $redirect_url == $requested_url to be false - causing the infinite redirect.

I tried the above patch for this issue, and it didn't seem to solve this issue.
