establishing connections with clients in a disposable communication chain.
These ports begin with 1024 and have around 48,000 available. Typically, a
known port is used to initiate the communication and subsequent communication
occurs on the registered port after a handshake process.
In this example, the port is displayed on the console, and will listen until a
request is made. If you use your browser to test this program, simply enter
the address:port into your location bar and make the request. Because the
program returns nothing, the browser's stop feature can be used to speed things
up.
