Auto guess HTTP port number

[dadoonet]

Hey @rashidkpc

My elasticsearch cluster is running on http://elasticsearch.mywebsite.com/.
I open Kibana using http://elasticsearch.mywebsite.com/_plugin/kibana/.

Kibana auto guess the website URL which is elasticsearch.mywebsite.com but sadly it add 9200 as port number when connecting to it.

So it tries to send requests to http://elasticsearch.mywebsite.com:9200/ which does not exist.

Could you try to automatically use the same URL and PORT as the browser knows?

Not exactly the same issue as #313 but very close I think.

I had it configured like this briefly but it caused way more issues than it solved. Most users don't run with a proxy, at least for initial setup. You can change the port in use in the config.js

That's what I did actually. I understand the bad side effect of such a feature request.
Closing it.
