Is there a way to remove the port number from a https request where the original url looks something like this:

https://host_name:8443/

The approach to change the server.xml file (where the connector port is changed from 8443 to 443) is not practical for us. When this is done, Tomcat requires the root user to run. We consider this a security risk.

We have considered a port forwarder, but we are unclear whether to install this on the Tomcat server or router. In any event, we are not at all sure this is the best approach. Any advice will be appreciated. Our operating system is Mac OS X.

Thanks,

Stephen
