Comment:
SERVER_PORT is coming from the underlying (or copied in, for older Django)
Python wsgiref implementation (see
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/532cad687332/Lib/wsgiref/simple_server.py#l56).
Note CONTENT_LENGTH is also a string value. I don't believe Django should
change either of these, but if someone wants to provide a doc patch that
notes that these values in `Request.META` are strings I suppose that might
avoid some confusion for some people.
