304402 - Firefox should use a standard port for automatic software update

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 301322

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Veeven]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050808 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050808 Firefox/1.0+

Automatic software update should use a standard port (which is allowed in all or
most cases).

Might this be a security problem?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
AUS: Update XML File Not Found (404)

When I visit https://aus-staging.mozilla.org:8711/, I got the following error:
 
Error Code: 502 Proxy Error. The specified Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port is
not allowed. ISA Server is not configured to allow SSL requests from this port.
Most Web browsers use port 443 for SSL requests.

Expected Results:  
Either Firefox got updated or notified me there were no updates.

This might just be for the test server since other services are running on that
box. I'm sure the production aus runs on the standard SSL port.

Annoying for testers behind restrictive firewalls, but might have to just live
with it.
