Look at this (excerpt from HTTP/1.1 spec): "HTTP communication usually takes place over TCP/IP connections. The ^^^^^^^ default port is TCP 80, but other ports can be used. This does not preclude HTTP from being implemented on top of any other protocol on the Internet, or on other networks. HTTP only presumes a reliable transport; any protocol that provides such guarantees can be used;" Bertold ==-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--== Kolics, Bertold E-Mail: bertold@tohotom.vein.hu University of Veszprem, Hungary W3: http://tohotom.vein.hu/~bertold/ Information Engineering Course ==-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==
