It's actually quite common. After all port 80 is _the_ IANA port for
HTTP (and so is 443 for HTTPS, which we support too).

It was a joke in reference to:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=You%27re+Holding+It+Wrong
Sort of self-criticizing, as there are a couple of issues with how we
are handling ports and URLs in the generated playlists. This will likely
improve once we get around to rewriting our HTTP engine to support HTTP
1.1, which is a target for the feature release following after 2.5, so
likely in about 2 years. No promise if we will work 100% on port
redirects, that's always a problem to support.
Also we could document the case of port 80/443 explicitly.

Glad you got it sorted.
