Port on HTTPS


May I used TCP port 8080 and TCP port 8081 for my HTTPS connection? Instead of TCP port 443.

Please help.

You can use whatever port you like, but you need to change this in the configuration file for your webserver/application server.

And any clients will need to append :8080 or :8081 to the URL (well, the hostname really) in order to connect. This will be required because you're getting away from the IANA assignment.
