  it would be useful if that was also possible with non-text/integer fields, e.g. for example for adding port number via host attribute

  it's a major pain to add extra service/rule definitions when you have a ton of webservices running on different ports. with this, you have to add a distinct check for every service, which could dramatically simplified when you could add HTTP_PORT as host attribute and then use $_HOSTHTTP_PORT$ in the service/rule.
