[pubcookie-users] PubcookieAppID with port?

[Nathan Dors]

Sorry, no suggestions here. It seems like mod_pubcookie is only 
doing what it knows to how to do, which is to pick up the config 
values for the hostx:443 it's running on.

It would need special knowledge to know that it should use port 
444 instead.
