Is there any problem in doing this?
I run a FCGI webmodule. What it does is just to redirect to
localhost:8080, with paths.  HTTPServer application will respond to
port 8080.

There should be no problem* but, cannot your main server do the
redirection w/out having to launch/call a (F)CGI?

* That is, other than normal security things like, say, an attacker
trying to find (and access) a server at the alternate port.

Probably IIS may be able to do that. Up to now, my server is used only
by limited uses, and running CGI. No problem yet, but I have to think
about other ways. I'm not a proper software scientist or engineer.
Just to show that my idea runs successfully^^
