In general yes, but as more and more technology gets added to the stack, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep everything running on port 80, which is the only port your users should have to hit on a web request. Take web sockets for instance, I have to run that on an off port because I can't run it through nginx yet.
- zedshaw 16y agoThat's very true. There's only so far a parser can go at keeping the protocols straight. Thankfully most protocols are designed to be really different so it's easy to do this right now. If I ran into a protocol that didn't work in this way then I'd have that on a separate port.
- zackham 16y agoI've dealt with this by getting another IP and pointing a subdomain at it, then I can start all over again with port 80. Your point still stands for this discussion, though.
