This has nothing to do with the server. A URL must be in the form http://servername:port ... You can leave off the port and it defaults to 80. If you leave off the http:// in Navigator, and enter "host:8080" it will translate that to http://host:8080 (or possibly some other service if the name begins with "news", "ftp", etc.). If you leave off the http:// in IE and enter "host:8080" it does not translate it. It does translate "host". It isn't "wrong" or "right", it is just the way it works.
