Not sure but it might be shorter/better to use PHP's parse_url()?

Some PHP setups return $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] with a port designation --
e.g. http://domain.tld:80.  With this patch, statistics.module removes
the port designation before distinguishing between internal and
external referrers.  Without this patch, all referrers will be labeled
as external in PHP setups where the port designation is included in
HTTP_HOST.

I have provided a patch before which also enabled stats module to treat
more domain names as local ones, since a site might be accessible via
multiple domain names (like www.drupal.org and drupal.org). That was
not accepted. It is not just port numbers that are problems.

Updated patch to work with latest HEAD.


Tested to work with CVS HEAD.


I'll take over any further problems that this patch may incur.
