Comment (by nacin):

 Does anyone else just think we can remove this code entirely? My question
 (from 7 years ago) about why this existed in MU was to try to understand
 if there was any reason for this in the first place. It doesn't seem like
 there was one, which for MU is not unusual. Rather than adding a filter to
 work around this, could we just kill it with fire? I'm not even sure why
 we need to stirp port numbers. Would we need to just continue to strip :80
 and :443 and let anything else go?
