Is there any way to start this task without cannibalizing the network port? #210

For example, let's say I've another application on port 80 and I'd like to run connect on the same port.

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance!

Nope, it's not possible. Only a single web server can bind on a port per IP address. It may be possible by running a proxy server (on port 80) but it will be a pain to configure and you will still have to run each server on a different port.

Uhmm, ok. I guess that since connect goal isn't being a complete Web server, it doesn't support this. BTW it would be very useful.

Thanks anyway for the effort.
