Question : Using port 8080 as default port

Is there a way to use the port 8080 instead of port 80 as the defalut port for http service?
 
Because my ISP blocked my port 80 and I have to choose another port for that. I found it quite inconvenient to type ":8080" after the address every time to access my site. Are there any tricks so that others can access my site without type ":8080" at the end of the address? Thanks.

Answer : Using port 8080 as default port

If you set your site to listen on a port other than the default http port (80) then the request HAS to come in on that port.

As you obviously know browser requests will all be sent over port 80 by default unless specificaly told not to, so changing what port your server listens on will not help.

In an ideal world this would be resolved by an intelligent browser that would try all ports until it found the one the site is listening on, the drawback would be you'd probably block it for port scanning ;-)
