``SERVER_PORT`` must be a bytes instance (not an integer).
What's that supposed to mean? What goes in the "bytes
instance"? A character string in some format? A long binary
number? If the latter, with which byte ordering? What
problem does this\ solve?
Just interpreting (i.e. not having participated in the specification):
Given the CGI background of all this, SERVER_PORT is an ASCII-encoded
decimal rendering of the port number.
As to what problem this solves: I guess it allows for easy pass-through
from the web server.
