 Mozilla/SeaMonkey blocking 8443 several years ago, AFAIK.

 I'm was a sysman (19 years) of the VMS cluster in the mobile company (Delta Telecom JSC, NMT-450i & CDMA network, Russia, Saint-Petersburg), on our VMS cluster we had used WASD (The) HTTP servers (by Mark G. Daniel :) ) to provide service to our subscribers. No problems other then floods and DDoS ... Purchase small PIX from Cisco on Ebay and make happy VMS biggots anywhere. :-) 
 Is there a reason to build wall on the way of potential users/customers/students/VMSlovers and so on?
