Yes, specifically it tries http://$server:80/cobbler_api_rw first, which 
is the Apache proxied endpoint.

If that fails, the usage of port is for a direct connection, not using 
Apache proxying.

(Also, if --server=DISCOVER is set it will try looking through Avahi 
before doing either)

I am not sure there is a good reason at all to let koan use SSL. All of 
the data koan retrieves is available over non-secured protocols (TFTP 
for starters, and HTTP) so there is nothing to hide. I think trying the 
specified port first makes sense.

How about if the XMLRPC port connection fails because the port is 
encrypted (with an appropriate exception which I suspect the XMLRPC 
module should raise), trying to treat the port as an SSL connection?
