Subject: Re: How can I run url without using port ?

All browsers I'm aware of will treat
http://somehost/page

as http://somehost:80/page

and
https://somehost/page

as
https://somehost:443/page

It's the nature of URLs, and the nature of browsers.

That's one of many reasons why in rails deployment, one often
uses a proxy web server that forwards URL's on 80/443 to the
actual rails web servers.

e.g. in my applications I've set up
Apache with proxy-balancer.  Apache takes the request, load balances
it out to one of my rails servers which are running on a range of
ports on a set of server systems.

This provides scalability and also the URL re-writing you're after,it 
can be tricky to set up but a bit of googling should point you at some 
recipes for doing it.
