java.net or saxon do not specify a port. The IANA default port for HTTP 
is port 80. If a page is served on another port, it is you who should 
specify it, not the application. Your code is correct. Try to run it 
from another location or computer. Make sure to use the most recent 
Saxon implementation.

If it used to work, and now stops working, and you did not change the 
XSLT code, it is very unlikely that the problem lies in your code. Even 
more, XSLT does nothing with url resolving, it leaves it entirely up to 
the processor.

If you are uncertain where the problem lies, try loading the page using 
a simple GET command from a telnet session. If that works, try setting 
up a socket connection from Java. If that works, you'll find that Saxon 
will work too (I know, because I tried your code using your command and 
your stylesheet).
