port confusion - Manila on Mac OS X

I'm hoping those of you that run Manila on Mac OS X can help me 
figure out a port confusion problem I'm seeing.  Even if you aren't 
having this problem, I'd like to hear that too.  Following is a 
posting I made to Frontier for Mac OS X Userland discussion group.


I've been noticing a problem with port confusion. Frontier/Manila is 
installed on port 8080. I'm currently using Eric Soroos' port 
forwarding technique to forward requests from port 80 to 8080. I am 
using Radio to edit the template of a Manila website I'm working on.

When I click on the Edit With Radio button, the template is loaded 
into Radio just fine. The problem occurs when the browser tries to 
load the advanced prefs page again but has added the port 8080 to the 
URL. I get the following error.

Sorry! There was an error: Can't display this page because you do not 
have enough access privileges.

The error was detected by Frontier 8.0.5 in mainResponder.respond. 
Webmaster: test at test.com. Time: Mon, 13 May 2002 23:23:05 GMT.

This is because I've not logged into the website URL with the port 8080.

Initially the URL looks like...

http://123.456.789.123/myWebsite/admin/sitePrefs/default$advanced#template

but after I hit the Edit With Radio button it looks like...

http://123.456.789.123:8080/myWebsite/admin/sitePrefs/default$advanced

Any thoughts on what is going on or how I can keep the 8080 from 
being inserted into the URL?

Some speculation. I'm thinking this might be a bug that is unique to 
Manila on Mac OS X using the port forwarding technique.
