What's port 8081 doing ?

I don't really understand this 8081 thing. It's localhost:8080/control 
for the webinterface, and i can't see any port 8081 logged by the firewall 
for whatever control action i tried.
The problem is that my firewall explicitly excempts any local connections
from logging, because i didn't want to clutter the logs with that, and the 
idea to track my own servers is something new for me :)
Please excuse i don't want to fiddle with the iptables right now, just to
test wwwoffle. I may try another day.

So, what for is 8081 used ?

This testing remote client IP is in LocalNet and in AllowConnect.
When i request woody:8081 from browser it's a timeout.
I also tried https://woody:8081 but result was the wwwoffled message:
"woody interrupted the connection. The server may be busy or you may 
have a network connection problem." 

I can see any remote attempts logged.
