In MediaWiki 1.41.0 the function WebRequest::detectServer() started to generate server URL strings containing default ports such as 80
for http and 443 for https.
Before 1.41.0: https://my.wiki
After 1.41.0: https://my.wiki:443
detectServer() uses IPUtils::combineHostAndPort() to build the URL. The
latter function has actually a mechanism built in that intends to omit
standard ports, so the new behavior in MW 1.41.0 seems unintended.
As this broke WDQS over here in our Wikibase Suite bundle, I
investigated the cause.
MediaWiki 1.41.0 updates IPUtils from 4 to 5. With this update, there
was a change that compares the port now via === instead of ==.
(e68cf6a14e%5E%21/#F1
Line 383) The new behavior is correct, as the function expects an int.
MediaWiki passes in a string though. This bug was hidden with IPUtils 4,
but is triggered now in IPUtils 5.
I think this should be backported to REL1_41.
