Of course, HTTP runs over TCP, but who can explain why in /etc/services:

# grep http /etc/services
#	http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers
http		80/tcp		www www-http	# WorldWideWeb HTTP
http		80/udp		www www-http	# HyperText Transfer Protocol
https		443/tcp				# MCom
https		443/udp				# MCom
gss-http	488/tcp
gss-http	488/udp
http-alt	8008/tcp
http-alt	8008/udp

Ports and port numbers are different for TCP and UDP, right?
