No. Depending on the client behaviour Tomcat will either see the full URL in the request line or will see hostname:port in the host header. Tomcat also knows which actual port the request was received on. Exactly which of these values gets used where depends on configuration including: - proxyHost and proxyPort on the connector - access log pattern - remote IP valve and AJP has different rules.
