> Sometimes we cannot configure the used port for a HTTPService up front, so it 
> would be nice to have the service select one itself; the chosen port would 
> then have to be communicated to the outside world. Since it should not just 
> select any random port e.g. for security reasons, it should be possible to 
> specify a range as property.
> Marcel suggested a port config value along the lines of port="random" or 
> port="pick-from-range(8000,9000)".
