Re: WO4: Application URL without port number doesn't work.

[David Neumann <dneumann@apple.com>]

In two incredibly easy ways:

- Use a web server like you did in WO 3.5.1 (so port number doesn't show
up at all). In this case you are no longer using the DirectConnect
feature but a regular HTTP server -- which is what you want for
deployment anyway. Remember DirectConnect (the ability of WOApplication
is act like a web server) was added to make development easier and
improve the out of box experience. You don't have to use it.
- Specify the port number on the command line when you run the app or as
a default. If you do it on the command line you would add:
    -WOPort 4545

Or whatever port you want
