Title: Port 427
Post by: billy_gates on 1 December 2002, 07:29

On the OSX firewall it says next to WebSharing port 80 and port 427, what does port 427 have to do with anything let alone http?

427 is not https (SSL), that's 443:

Code: [Select]

It appears to be a Novell port:

I don't know why you would have it open. Just because it is a Novell port doesn't mean other apps can't use that port so maybe there is another explanation.
