Hi Jacque.

In all IP communications, not only is the address the IP part, but there is 
also a port number associated with it. You don’t often see it because this 
information is added on later using the default port for whatever protocol. For 
instance, port 80 is the HTTP port. 21 and 22 is FTP. 465 is SSL and so forth.

Now if you were to use another port, 81 for HTTP for example, you would have to 
explicitly put that in the URL: http://www.slylabs.com:81/support

(That’s not a real URL btw so don’t click it.) There are a maximum number of 
usable ports, 65535 to be exact. The URL you have is obviously higher than that 
and BTW has a LETTER I in it! Yeah, that URL is bogus.

A little off topic, but does anyone know what the pipe means in a url in this 
format:

www. domain.com<http://domain.com/>:443|6928

It's coming back in the error response from a POST request and the request 
times out. What does the second port number mean, if that's what it is?
