New 8080 is the Web-Caching (Proxy) port
Some see it as a "work around" for anonymity.

Therefore, it is BAD..........

THEY ARE WATCHING YOU.
The time has come for you to take the last step.
You must love THEM.
It is not enough to obey THEM.
You must love THEM.

PEACE BEGETS WAR, SLAVERY IS FREEDOM, STRENGTH IN IGNORANCE.

New Cool. So blocking it would be a thing most companies do.
So putting your whole support website on 8080, when you're a company that writes software for use by other companies...

... could well be seen as a spectacularly dumbass thing to do. (That's a technical term, I think).

/me wonders if he'll be allowed to stay home from work on the pretence he's 'viewing the software's support site' :)

John. Busy lad.

New No.
Quoting from [link|http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers|The IANA port numbers list]:
The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports,
the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports.

The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023.

The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151

The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535

So, best practice would be to select a port with a number >49151.
