Mmm are you sure it's empty in gunicorn?

For the server addres we are using socket.getsockname() for the
default so at this step the port can be null, but then  Host header
(HTTP_HOST) which override the defaults.  We are following the spec on
that's matter. So I'm surprised that port can be empty. Can you
provide an example I could reproduce?
