Corrected a non-critical bug in the FontSurveyApplet class where the HTTP server URL was effectively hard coded with the default port 80. Introduced a new getPort() method to identify a non-default port number on the applet codebase URL and insert in the confirmation page URLs if necessary. Also added extra debugging statements to the getHost() method to distinguish possible error cases, and new debug parameter handling to output survey script response to the Java console.
