[Zope] hide ":8080"

[Jud Dagnall]

I'm using no-ip.com for dynamic dns. They provide a system by which you
could map a particular port to a host. For example, if they were hosting
blu.org,
www.blu.org could point to port 8080. Perhaps dyndns can do this. Here' a
link on the no-ip site help article about this feature:

is port 8080.  If people visit my web site,  is it compulsory to type

No, if your provider blocks port 80 you won't be able to get it access
like you.dyndns.org. If you have a friend which makes a url rewrite
rule on his server you might get your-ip.your-friend.org get mapped to
you.dyndns.org:8080.

http://blu.org is just short for http://blu.org:80 since http defaults
to port 80
