I've seen a couple of programs that explicitly check and refuse to start when asked to listen on port 0 (for example, to this day "ssh -D 127.0.0.1:0 remote-host" refuses to start).

Don't the developer's standard server-launching scripts (re)launch browser after they start the server? IIRC, npm start and VisualStudio+ASP.NET do exactly that.
