There is a FAQ entry for that, at least for Linux users:

http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/install/faq.xtp#How-can-I-bind-to-a-port-under-1024-and-still-run-as-a-non-root-user?

For some reason (I don't remember exactly why) I ended up with two
iptables entries like this:


iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT             --destination $MYIP \
            -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth+ --destination $MYIP \
            -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
