RE: AS2 Port Issues

We experienced less problems using the ports 80/8080 for http communicati=
on=20
and 443/8443 for https communication. A lot of company firewalls allow=20
their servers to connect to these ports (at least port 80).

I don't think it makes sense to assign a specific port for AS2=20
communication since the basic communication protocol is http(s) and the=20
ports 80/443 are already used for this kind of communication.

I think it's the fault of the AS2 implmentation providers that they are=20
using uncommon ports for http(s) connections.
