Finally I have solved the problem by a better approach such I don't need to get either host or port. I'm performing some customization to the WebView dashlet to make it automatically configurable, that's the reason of my needs.

Apart of that, I think that the definition of host and port as global config (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Global_and_Scoped_Config) and the retrieve them in the webscript could work and would be the best in my opinion. Furthermore, host and port could be dynamically replaced in config file with ant tasks.

I hope if helps others. Anybody interested or regarding question feel free to ask.

Cheers.
