Proxied host port is stripped from HTTP_HOST

When I use version 2.7.6 PHP’s $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] returns localhost:3000 but on the latest version, 2.7.12, it returns just localhost, without the port number. This is breaking my sites.

Example config:

gulp.task('serve', ['stylesDev'], function () {
  browserSync.init({
    notify: false,
    proxy: 'localhost/src/'
  });
  gulp.watch(['src/**/*.php'], reload);
  gulp.watch(['src/styles/**/*.{scss,css}'], ['stylesDev', reload]);
  gulp.watch(['src/scripts/**/*.js'], reload);
  gulp.watch(['src/images/**/*'], reload);
});

I’m referring to the value returned by the PHP $_SERVER variable when using browser-sync’s proxy: //in gulpfile.js browserSync.init({ proxy: ‘localhost/’ });

Here’s an example:

//Without browser-sync

<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>

//returns localhost

//With Browser-Sync v2.6.5

<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>

//returns localhost:3000

//With Browser-Sync v2.7.12

<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>

//returns localhost

The issue I have is that, with the latest browser-sync version, it loads the site to http://localhost:3000/ on startup but the links in the site, which are generated dynamically by using $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] are using http://localhost/. The difference, not appending the :3000, raises browser errors related to cross-origin requests for resources.

Possible related issue when I try to save a WP post:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://127.0.0.1/jump_start/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access.

Here’s the relevant gulpfile.js code:

        browserSync.init({
            proxy: 127.0.0.1/jump_start/,
            tunnel: "tunnel"  // Set the SSH tunnel for mobile testing.
        });

However, this is only an issue on an older site. I created a brand new site and had no issues. When I create a WP site, I install it at 127.0.0.1/mydir/. I run Gulp and it loads as localhost:3000/mydir/ just fine. Not sure if that helps @KevinRay.
