Port 80 is a default convention for the port to do html transfer (443 is
convention for 'secure' transfer).  From here BOTH work and return
identicle results.  I suggest a possible browser or proxy server
configuration issue on your side (though the HP firewall may be doing
something weird). Any body else have different results?
