Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When creating a new proxy host, the forward port field is required, despite indicating having a default value. Explicitly specifying a port also causes it to be included in the host header, which may be undesirable.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow leaving the forward port field empty, resulting in the underlying nginx configuration not specifying any port.

Research direction

Start by tracing the proxy host form's forward-port field and the code that generates the underlying nginx configuration. Verify how an empty port is represented, then confirm that the generated configuration omits the port and avoids adding it to the host header.
