4.28 How can I protect web servers running on ports other than 80?

It is possible... It's a kludge, but it can work. Since the newer rules use the $HTTP_PORTS variable, you simply reset it and re-run the rules for the other ports.

For example: 

    var HTTP_PORTS 80
    include web.rules
    var HTTP_PORTS 8080
    include web.rules
