Due to the limitations of JSP, and the fact I cannot figure out how to use it, I have written my own Java plugin-based webserver. I am wondering what the rules are on binding to ports, what ports/port ranges are allowed to be bound to, and where/if I have to get permission?
I can provide the webserver code etc if necessary, and it will be in my homedir, however I have tested thoroughly and there is no advanced code or features that could damage anything. Only filesystem access is read-only (by the webserver, a specific tool might output a log etc), and it obeys all filesystem-level security settings automatically.
I have asked a few times on IRC, but it appears no-one is there to answer, so I have decided to ask here.
Thanks, Matt

You can bind every port you like, except 0-1024 (that's a security-decision by linux) and any other port, that allready used.
If you like, we can forward a apache-url to your webserver.
Please remember that you are responsible for every software, you use.
Thanks, Matt
