Hi Christoph,
The url spec allows you to set a port number after the host name. Like this
http://someserver:7777/ That would try to connect to someserver on port
7777. Most web servers run on port 80 and that's the default port. If
your server is on port 80 then your don't need to list it.
-Peace
Dave
