Emmanuel Rousselle commented on JBSEAM-3891:
--------------------------------------------

I've actually done some testing on my own because I experienced a similar issue.

It looks like some browsers will "strip" the port number from the URL if port=80, and others don't. I haven't tested all browsers on all platforms, but on Mac OS X, Firefox 3.0.10 will "remove" the port number, but the lastest Safari 3 won't.

Obviouly, if the return to URL is different from the URL in the browser validation will fail.

The Seam OpenID code does append the port number to the return to URL. I downloaded the source code (2.1.2.CR2) and changed the logic to generate the return to URL so that if won't append the port number if port=80, and it solved my issue.

I've actually seen one other instance where the code that generates the return to URL is sensitive to the port number: the Python OpenID library will do exactly that.
