How to get the hostname and the port number?

Given a request like this: http://localhost:5000/echo?text=Hello%20World how can I get the hostname and the port number?

As far as I can see this information is (only) available in the request.header() in a Header called Host.
The server has the server.server_addr() that would return them in like this: 127.0.0.1:5000.

IMHO it would be useful for both the server and the request to have method: host and port.

server_addr() is more complicated than that. It returns you a ListenAddr which may be a TCP socket or a Unix path, and it's up to you to decide how to handle those cases for your application.
