I guess you could say that it does but the reality is that this is a bug and should
be fixed in all platforms. I just don't know how to do that on any other OS besides
NetWare. :( The issue comes down to the fact that if you enter the URL
https://myserver.com/mydocs with no trailing slash, Apache will redirect you to
http://myserver.com:443/mydocs/ which causes a problem on some if not all browsers.
This turns out to get even worse if your secure port is not 443. ap_http_method()
looked like a good place to make the change since it appeared that the orignators of
this function had intended it to be implemented. In fact the code in
ap_contruct_url() expects it to be implemented.

Doesn't this change how Apache works depending on which platform you
are on?
I dislike putting SSL into the server on just one platform for Apache 1.3. IMO,
this should be done with a patch to the server when NetWare distributes it, not
with a modification to the core.
Of course, for 2.0, I thoroughly encourage putting this type of thing in. I would
use different logic for 2.0, just because it can be done without #ifdef's.
