Description
Description
The utils.http.query function, and by extension modules.http.query, ignores the port parameter. Instead it takes the port from the url.
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
salt-call http.query 'http://saltproject.io' port=8080
Expected behavior
Should fail as there is nothing responding on that port.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python implementations of utils.http.query and modules.http.query, then reproduce the issue with salt-call http.query 'http://saltproject.io' port=8080. Trace how the port is selected and add or update coverage so the supplied port is honored and the example fails when nothing responds there.
