Redirecting without canonicalizing the port

[Yang Zhang]

This seems to happen for all redirects (e.g. rewrites), but if it
makes any difference, the particular redirect I'm interested in is
from

  location /foo { alias /.../foo; }

Requests to /foo get redirected to /foo/ (but with the wrong port
number, as described below).
