detecting http port

[marconi8]

situation is next;

for example for data exchanging i choose http protocol, TIdHTTP server /and client

by default in client app , in TIdHTTP client component port option i set to 80, but if client using not 80 port but 8080 ????

can my server app listen on ports 80,8080 or any other kind of http ports,

thanks

A server can listen to any port. Port 80 is only the officially specfifieed port for HTTP, and every HHTP-client tries to reach a server on port 80 if not specified differently.

in Indy component TIdHTTP (client) is one property - bindings
this option i must to use, at this point of work i cant realy understand what this bindings mean....

i must set bindings like

myIP:80
myIP:8080
myIP:any other known internet port

and when client connects i must in loop try all kind of ports ???

thanks
