[users@httpd] Finding the Port the user is communicating through.
I know the web server listens on port 80 by default, but that's not what
I am interested in. I want to know if there is an easy way to find out
what port Apache is sending back the results of a request on.

Look at the documentation for mod_log_config.so. You might be able to
configure Apache to log the remote port of the requests. Generally, the
port is random and the range is based on the config of the client's
TCP/IP stack.

It is TCP.
The client sends a request on whatever port you want, X (normally 80) and
with a high source port Y.
Apache listens to that request, and replies with "source port=X" and
"destination port=X".

Hi,
Can apache control this ?
I think it is TCP that control that,
Since HTTP is on top of TCP, you should investigate on this side.

This infomation is provided via REMOTE_PORT variable (it may be a proxy
though).
