I'd like to avoid remembering common port names: e.g. for my CUPS it's http://localhost:631/
.
I know that there're service names (named aliases for ports) in '/etc/services':
$ cat /etc/services | grep ipp ipp 631/tcp # Internet Printing Protocol ipp 631/udp
And this works just fine:
$ lynx
http://localhost:ipp/
However, accessng http://localhost:ipp/
does not work in Firefox, Opera, Konqueror.
Any ideas?
Use the port number... – EmmEff – 2009-09-22T14:05:16.877
You seem to know nothing about laziness ;) Anyway, if there's such a feature - it should work! :) – kolypto – 2009-09-22T14:14:04.477
The GUI tends to be segregated from the CLI apps (and configurations). For example, you might setup a SOCKS tunnel in the GUI, but no command line apps know about it. – Jeremy L – 2009-09-22T14:47:40.457
1No, that's not the case. Browsers should just use getportbyname() for [a-z]* ports – kolypto – 2009-09-22T15:23:41.193
