Re: browser support of HTTP

This isn’t an HTTP vs. HTTPS thing, and more browser vendors moving to block 10080 because of historical misuse. You can read the justification over here:

I guess it is not an HTTP / HTTPS thing. just port 10080. firefox
allows an override. The latest Chrome may be blocking it .

they talk about Chrome blocking 10080 at the 9:25 mark

yes, but the browser is not allowing HTTP traffic to port 10080

In firefox you have to do the following:


type about:config in the address bar

in the "search preference name" input box, type:
network.security.ports.banned.override
set to type string
click the + button to add
then type in the ports to allow. 10080

Again, probably a network setting for your org. Ports shouldn't make a
difference... you can run HTTP or HTTPS over any port.

does firefox simply not support HTTP? Is there a config setting?

whether Chrome supports HTTP now or not, I think it will sooner than
later
remove support.
