Of course, HTTP runs over TCP, but who can explain why in /etc/services:

# grep http /etc/services
#       http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers
http            80/tcp          www www-http    # WorldWideWeb HTTP
http            80/udp          www www-http    # HyperText Transfer Protocol
https           443/tcp                         # MCom
https           443/udp                         # MCom
gss-http        488/tcp
gss-http        488/udp
http-alt        8008/tcp
http-alt        8008/udp

Ports and port numbers are different for TCP and UDP, right?
