Greetings,

I have a C program running on linux that I am using to try to connect to a server (on the same network) to pull some data. I have freeware that does the hardwork (creates the socket, connects, reads/writes). I am trying to connect over port 80 (http). At the time of the socket "connect" I get a "connection refused" (looking at errno). Why would this be? Curious that when I use port 8443 the connection is made. Why would I get a connection refused on port 80? I ran chkconfig and I dont have iptables enabled. Is there some other linux security feature that can block me reaching out to another host on port 80?

thanks,
Bill
