Package: netbase
Version: 4.44
Bug # 442304 changed the service name of port 8080 to http-alt as per
IANA. The problem is that "http-alt" is not unique on IANA's list as
it is shared with 8008 and 591:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
Wikipedia has different name assignments:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
I recommend the following changes and additions:
http-alt 8008 # Alternate HTTP
http_alt 8080 webcache # WWW Caching service
http_alt_alt 8090 # Alternate HTTP
These being all unofficial there isn't any hard rule for their
names/assignments and there are plenty of exceptions. There are a lot
of firewall "help" sites that list the ones I'm recommending but I'm
unsure if they are using different sources or just using Wikipedia's
list. Deciding a popularity contest with Google isn't ideal but I'm
more concerned with uniqueness in the service names versus popular
usage.
8090 is used by Tsung/IDX-Tsunami but it's not in Debian
http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/user_manual.html#htoc22
VLC uses 8080 for streaming over http.

This is extremely stupid on IANA's part, but I do not see any good
reason to change the status quo.
