Fwd: [IANA #411617] Application for port-number: couchdbs
Help appreciated.
He raises a good point though, as those links don't work now.
I'm not sure what level of description they require.
Probably nothing more than a handful of paragraphs to explain how CouchDB is a special use-case for HTTP. In the original submission for TCP 5984, I pointed out that TCP 80 is specifically reserved for "World Wide Web HTTP." My argument hinged on the fact that CouchDB is expected to be run on a machine (perhaps on a private interface) that is simultaneously serving up this kind of "World Wide Web" traffic, and so this warranted a separate port.

Sorry Noah, meant to reply earlier.
If the argument that allows 80/443 for http/https is no longer enough,
I don't see how we'll get this registration approved.
Is it possible to listen on one port and handle http and https
correctly? I didn't think so, hence it listens on a different port.

I just mean you already pointed out that they were gone/missing.

Slightly off-topic: the contents on these URLs doesn't seem to have
anything to do with CouchDB right now (I see some crap about The
