Wrong 'href' for collection when not using standard ports on dataverse server

[chStaiger]

I am using an own testing instance of dataverse with 8080 as HTTP port.
Connecting and creation and listing of dataverses works fine.

host = 'my.server.com:8080'
connection = Connection(host, token, use_https=False)
dataverse = connection.get_dataverse('myverse')

However, when creating a new dataset or listing existing datasets I receive the following error:

datasets = dataverse.get_datasets()

InvalidURL: Failed to parse: 145.100.59.118:8080:8080

For some reason the field:

dataverse.collection.get('href')
'https://my.server.com:8080:8080/dvn/api/data-deposit/v1.1/swordv2/collection/dataverse/userverse'

is not set correctly.

Is it possible to make the port another argument in the class Connection?

@chStaiger hi! The easiest solution for you is probably to use the instance of https://demo.dataverse.org which you are very welcome to do.

The bug you found is on the Dataverse server side. I left a todo in the code to not always return https: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.8.6/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/datadeposit/UrlManager.java#L185

If you feel like opening a issue at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues I would appreciate it!
