Default Website on a port other then 80
|
|
| =?Utf-8?B?SmVycnk=?= 2004-01-24, 1:36 am |
| Is it possible to configure IIS to listen on a port other then 80 and have clients access the default site with just the IP addrsss and without including the port number? For example, http://68.225.249.141:85 will bring up the site, but notice the :85 spe
cifying the port. I need the client to load the site by simply entering http://68.225.249.141 without the port number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jerry

| That is not possible, AFAIK, without either:
a) writing your own custom browser
-or-
b) having something listening on port 80 (eg reverse proxy software) which
forwards the request onto a different port (where you webserver is
listening).
The registered port for HTTP communication is port 80 (this is defined in an
RFC). Browsers should always go to port 80 in the absence of any other port
specification. You could write your own custom browser that doesn't do this
(if you want).
