[vos-d] URL::parse problem

[Peter Amstutz]

Actually, I'm pretty sure the HTTP_GET() function ignores the port on 
the URL object and asks to connect to the "http" port (which should be 
looked up in /etc/services).  Perhaps that should just specify port 80 
explicitly.

But you're right, the VOS "URL" class is highly VOS-specific in 
specifying 4231 as a default, which is kind of silly.
