CasFilter and Non-standard port HTTPS clients

[Mark McLaren]

I am a regular user of the version 2 CAS Filter although I guess this
query could equally apply to version 3 also.

I regularly use non-standard server HTTPS ports (e.g. Tomcat default
port of 8443).  I am not sure if this is absolutely necessary but can
a parameter be added to the CAS authentication filter to specify when
a client server is using HTTPS? (or not)

As I understand it, the serverName parameter does not specify
HTTP/HTTPS (e.g. localhost:8443).  I can specify a protocol scheme by
using the serviceUrl (e.g. https://localhost:8443/webapp/login.jsp)
but this implies a slightly different behaviour, a single point of
application entry, and this is not always what I want.
