oops - on the second sigth it may not be practical to replace the port 
syntax at all - for example the simpliest form:

  if failed port 80 then ...

and url based alternative:

  if failed generic://127.0.0.1:80 then ...


But maybe it could be possible to consolidate it internally, i.e. both 
syntaxes may use common structure for protocol, host, port, request, 
user, etc.
