[STR New]

I'm accessing a remote cupsd via a local port forwarding so that the remote
cupsd which is running on localhost:631 there is available via
localhost:11111 on my machine. When I go to a cups http site that contains
a http redirect, the redirect will be done to localhost:631 instead of
localhost:11111 even though the manual link that is given in the "Printer
EastmanK has been stopped." goes to port 11111. The redirect code on the
http site is:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="5;URL=/admin/?OP=redirect&URL=/printers/EastmanK">

One might assume that the redirect on the same host also uses the same
port as the site containing the redirect URL used but all the browsers I
tested (Firefox, Opera, Konqueror) do redirect to port 631 instead.
Actually I don't see where the browsers gets the 631 port information from
at all.

I'll attach the http request header of the "stop printer" action and the
html page containing the redirect.
