why port 23 not work at corporate LAN?

At home,
- can telnet using port 23
- can access https://ip-address:23

At corporate LAN,
- can telnet using port 23
- CANNOT access http://ip-address:23 (got 403 forbidden error)

WHY?
I suppose port 23 is open because i can telnet
but why https not work?

any helps would be greatly appreciated.

telnet and http use different protocols. Port 23 is probably blocking UDP

http uses port 80. You can't have both http and telnet using port 23. And https uses port 443. Why would you want to access http to port 23 anyways, what are you trying to accomplish?

i try to access Plesk though port 23 (which i think this is the port NOT block)...
because the default port 8443 is blocked.

the wired thing is:
i can access Plesk admin thru 23 at home but not at office.

however, i can access telnet both at home and office thru 23. which make me think 23 is OPEN to all services....

You can't have a port open to all the services, or more than one, for that matter.

but when at work, cannot...

By the way, telnet uses udp. SSL uses port 22. Maybe that is what Plesk normally uses.
