Host header includes port

[mdemare]

Excon sends a port number with the Host header. This confuses some hosts, e.g.

curl -v 'http://urbact.eu/en/projects/innovation-creativity/eunivercities/our-project/' -H 'Host: urbact.eu:80' -o /dev/null (404)

vs.

curl -v 'http://urbact.eu/en/projects/innovation-creativity/eunivercities/our-project/' -H 'Host: urbact.eu' -o /dev/null (200)

Oh, there is a setting for that: Excon.new("http://urbact.eu", omit_default_port: true)

@mdemare yeah, for now using the option is probably your best bet. I think we may eventually just make that the default (but there are historical things that will make this a breaking change, so we haven't gotten to it quite yet). Sorry for the difficulty/confusion! Definitely have this on the radar for upcoming work: #357
