title: which port to use for applet servlet communication
body: <p>I am trying to communicate between an applet and a servlet. I first tried Http connection. But I am not getting the desired result. Hence decided to switch to socket communication. Hence I wanted to know which port to use for the same. I remember reading somewhere that port 80 is ideal. Is it port 80 or port 8080? I need a port that is not blocked by firewall(default).</p>
