:80 in address bar

Report · May 11, 2007

My site has just gone live and I have noticed an irregularity. On a certain
link I get :80 in the address bar. What is this eg.
http://www.myexample.com:80/intro.asp

What does the :80 mean? Is it the port number and if so why does it display?

Thanks.

That is the port number. 80 is the default port for HTTP traffic. So in this
case, it's likely redundant. I'm guessing it's there because it's hard-coded
in the link you created.

No, it's not hard coded into the link. That is why I couldn't understand why
it is there in the address. Also, what do you mean by redundant? I'm not
sure I follow.

Port 80 is what you get when you don't specify a port. That's redundant.

It is a security feature of some email clients to append :80 to the link so
that the link takes you to a valid http address.

Looks like everybody but Tom Muck. (ie you and Murray. Well, Murray
/did/ include a "ROFL" in his post. I guess that's bad attitude. I'm
not sure what yours was.)
