[imp] imp through forwarded port

What version?

You can have the web server listen on 80 and redirect that to 1080, but
that probably is against your security policy and/or resource intensive,
so you probably don't want to do that.

In CVS HEAD at least, you can edit horde/config/conf.php and set

$conf['server']['port'] = '1080'

and in older versions you can edit horde/config/registry.php and in the
$this->application['horde'] array set

    'server_port' => '1080'

and all *full* urls will have that port in it.  Relative urls I'm not
sure if it is even needed or not?

In any case, if the above fails, you should edit, if you want to edit
code, horde/lib/Horde.php and change the url function to always generate
full urls with the port included.  Or so I would guess (not tested).

Try one or more of the above.
