hi guys

i am just checking out the new XMLSocket() object and its methods …  
like connect  
so the required signature is hostname and port \>1024 as you hopefully know 🙂

but now i would like to test it on my pc with apache and the standard port is 80  
i changed it to 8080 and it worked but i also would like to know how i open/create a new port for connecting in the httpd-docs in apche

thx
