Masking port 8080

[drohr]

Is there a way to do it?

I am using the current BETA version. I like it. I am using dyndns.org for DNS. My server is

http://drohrstestes.ath.cx:8080 (anyone needing the user/password ICQ me 2336055)

Is there a way to mask the port so all i need to give is: http://drohrstestes.ath.cx  ?

premise: HFS (or any webserver) can't do it.

what you can do is to use port 80 (and then you can skip the port part) or having a web hop (a redirection) that will redirect to your 8080.
a simple redirect will show in the address bar the 8080, while a "cloaking" framing will hide it, but will also have other side effects.

i think you can but not in the HFS. you will need to port forward you request from 80 to 8080 using your router.

yes, but if that is the case why use port 8080 in the first place when port 80 reaches you just fine?

indeed, if he is not doing it already that way, there must be a reason
