Changing HTTP Header Host port

Am receiving http requests on a high port (55555) and need to remove this in the header for all requests (so it sends on as port 80).     For example...     Host: www.google.com:...
application delivery
dev
devops

Is the app including the port number in redirects? If so, you can try rewriting the redirects using the HTTP profile option. Or you can use an iRule: 

 
 when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
  
     Check if response is a redirect 
    if {[HTTP::is_redirect]}{ 
  
        Replace :55555/ with / in the Location header 
       HTTP::header replace Location [string map {:55555/ /} [HTTP::header value Location]] 
    } 
 }

If the port isn't in the Location header, can you explain where you're seeing it?
