That’s exactly what I did. The problem is WordPress (via [redirect\_canonical](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/redirect_canonical) I think) does a 301 redirect when it sees that the port doesn’t match.

Tried adding `port_in_redirect off;` to nginx server block but it didn’t seem to help…

And the funny thing is I already strip off the port from HTTP `Host` header in my .vcl file. Should I not be doing that? (Oh wait… This only matters if the request URL from browser contains a port number. Nevermind…)
