Minor bug - Web Server Protection not checking the proxy port

Hi,

I've noticed a while back that the Web Server Protection would notify the user if the IP + port they were trying to use was already used by another service (for example, the user portal).

Today I've hit a small snag trying to enable a server on port 8080. It seemed fine from the UI, but the page wouldn't work. It was only later that I realized that the 8080 is likely in use by the transparent proxy.

Not a huge issue, of course, but it would be nice if the UI was consistent and could report when a IP + port is in use in all cases.

BTW: why can't I have the user portal running on the 443 port along with other virtual web servers? I mean - it all works by host-name, so there shouldn't be an issue. :/

  • Splitting hairs.   Port 8080 is the default port for standard web proxy.

    The conflict could be solved by changing standard oroxy to 3128, an alternate port used by many proxies.   Disabling standard proxy would also be expected to avoid the conflict.

    Cannot help with the lack of warning by the user interface.  I agree it is an oversight by developers.
