What happened?

stalwart-cli fails on JMAP-related actions with Aborting redirect request to unknown host when trying to use an URL that contains a non-standard port, such as http://localhost:8080.

Why is this happening (my humble research)

Consider the following function:

The function is being called in the setup code of the JMAP client:

Because of the nature of comparison that happens within the JMAP client, this always results in an error (jumps to the else condition of the comparison within stalwart-cli's code):

How can we reproduce the problem?

• Set up an HTTP listener with a non-default port, i.e. HTTP on localhost:8080. Try to pass it to stalwart-cli as URL argument. stalwart-cli will fail to work.
• Move the HTTP listener to port 80 and omit the port in the URL entirely: Then the CLI will work.
