+### Add request.uri.port to rhai engine ([PR #6119](https://github.com/apollographql/router/pull/6119))
+
+`request.uri.port` and `request.subgraph.uri.port` to rhai engine for both read and write. An example fo where this may be useful is if you need to dynamically change the uri of a subgraph call, including setting a port:
+
+```rhai
+fn subgraph_request_callback (request) {
+  request.subgraph.uri.port = "4001";
+}
+```
