I set up a http_listener on port 1234 and everything works fine. But on ports below 1024 ist doesn't work. What's the reason ?
I'm working on Windows 8.1.
Comments: Hi Tunichtgut, The port numbers below 1024 are [well-known ports](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers). When you try to listen on one below 1024 I'm guessing you are getting an exception with an error something like: Access denied: attempting to add Address 'http://localhost:1002/'. Run as administrator to listen on an hostname other than localhost, or to listen on port 80. Listening on these ports requires administrative privileges. I have no trouble if run as an administrator, try it out. Thanks, Steve
