Do any browsers actually use this mechanism for port detection? I'm seeing plenty of HTTPS queries in my PiHole dashboard, but I'm not sure if browsers will actually connect to some high numbered port just because HTTPS told them to.

In theory we could've had this decades ago if browser respected SRV records, but alas.

I don't see these records on my DNS server. I think Apple devices make heavy use of these records.
