Which two ports? What have you done with them in iptables?

What is the "Tomcat redirection valve"?

If the URL contains port 443, then your client connection is not
actually contacting port 8444. Can you confirm with a packet-sniffer
or something else that you are connecting to 8444 and not 443?

It's possible that there is a bug in HttpClient that makes it connect
to whatever port you requested (8444) but then also sends
"hostname:443" as the "Host" header. If that happens, Tomcat will use
that ":443" as the return value for getServerPort (note that this is
specified in the Servlet Javadocs).

If you want the real port Tomcat answered on, use
HttpServletRequest.getLocalPort.

This must be coming from the "Host" header. Are you generating your
own "Host" header, or is HttpClient doing it for you?
