You change the port in your app to 80 which is a privileged port. This
means, I assume anyway, that Windows will have you run it as an admin.
I learned with Kylix, I have not used Windows in decades.

Port 443 is for https://
Port 80 is http://

The way I just told you is the wrong way... though. I have a feeling
it's the answer you want though.

The correct way is to bring up Apache or NGINX and CGI or Reverse
Proxy 8080. These are real web severs with many features like cache
and should be in front of your app.
