 I think this makes sense, especially given the story. That said, if there
 was a way to just get #52088 out the door by supporting only the port that
 WordPress is using for its development environment, that would at least be
 a start.


 I'm not actively involved with this ticket, but I want to clarify my last
 comment in case it's preventing further progress here.
 [attachment:"15936.5.diff"] is some prior work from another ticket and I
 don't think it addresses what is actually needed for this. It does provide
 some prior patch art though.

 What's missing for this current ticket (IMO) is:

 * Proposed solution to how a custom port should be recognized and managed
 in bootstrap/load and (maybe? maybe not) managed with networks/sites in
 the network admin UI.
 * How to test the solution as part of the standard WP build process. Unit
 tests, end to end tests?
 * Code to implement the above.
 * How to test the solution locally. (Maybe it's just that the dev
 environment works!) :)

 I'm happy to help with testing in a local environment once it's there, but
 I don't have the bandwidth for solution creating right now. :)
