Here's one possibility.  I worked on a project where I was running
2 virtual servers, each running a different "flavor" of SSL.  One server
was running -- for want of a better term -- "standard" SSL understandable
by browsers and that used RSA algorithms, while the other server was running
SSL without any RSA stuff that was understandable by a specialized client.
The servers were running on ports 443 and 8443, respectively.  However, we
used a firewall that port- and name-mapped this server to 443 on 2 separate
domain names.  Anyway, the only port the 2nd server was aware of was 8443.

I don't think many folks need to do this sort of thing, but nonetheless,
this
is a case where getServerPort() == 443 wouldn't give the right answer.
