firefox displays html codes when page served from port other then tcp port 80?
I have a device that serves some pages. When accessed via port 80, all is good. When accessed from another port, such as 8080, the display shows only the raw html code! An Older Firefox (2.0.0.20 (Linux)) does not do this, neither does IE 8! Can the the DOCTYPE code affect this type of operation?

See if you block firefox from the ports by your Firewall

thank you
Thank you for the idea, but that is not it. Turned the firewall off, still the same. Also I can view other http servers that serve pages on port 8080 and port 8000. The html is code being sent, it is just not interpreted as html. It prints the raw code in the browser window!
How does the server send those pages (content-type)?
- Tools > Page Info > General
When the page is served from port 80, it shows text/thml and standards compliance mode. When served from port 8080, it shows text/plain and quirks mode? The page content is identical. Have tried removing the !DOCTYPE line. No change. Pages are very simple, straight forward html! IE8 has no problem with this, as does my old Firefox on Linux (2.0.0.20)
Finally found the issue. The server was not sending the HTTP/1.1 header with a content-type parameter in it. Added this and now pages server ok from 80 and any others. Thanks for the responses.
Glad you solved it, we thank you.
