[jboss-as7-dev] https redirect-port calculated value or automatic retrieval instead of a fixed value?

[Frank Langelage]

Hello,

to secure the connection I added a https connector to the web-subsystem 
and the socket-binding for it.
To get the redirect from http to https working I had to add 
redirect-port="9143" to the http connector.

See also https://community.jboss.org/thread/199579.

The standard ports (8080, 8443) are occupied by an instance with an 
older JBoss-version on our server.
The same will be the case for customer sites later.
So I use"-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=700" to force a port offset 
from 8080 to 8780 etc.
Works perfect for all socket-bindings.

But as far as I could find out, the redirect-port for the http-connector 
has to be a fixed value and is not influenced by the given offset.
That's a great pitty, because this would require to use copies of 
standalone-full.xml then to only provide this port number.


It would be great if it were possible to use an expression like 
"8443+${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset}".
Or if the "redirect-port" would be obsolete and automatically retrieved 
by the system from the https connector and the socket-binding.

Any supporters for such an enhancement?
Or did I miss something and this is possible already today (AS7 7.2.0)?
