You can have it listen to any port you like.  See the configuration.  You can
export urls on any port as well the extended syntax is #u(:host my-host.com
:port 666)"/my-url.html"

Most UNIX ports use 8000.

I don't understand the question. You can run http over whatever port and
you can have
virtual hosts.  There is a file-upload rfc implemented by Netscape but I don't
 think you're talking about that.
