so, I use the CocoaHTTPServer to supply a website on an iOS Device.

When using an iPod Touch or an iPad with iOS 5.1 I can listen on Port 80, less hassle for the user.

Tried doing the same on my iPhone 3G, still running iOS 4.2, getting the error

Error starting HTTP Server: Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=13 "Permission denied" UserInfo=0x3572e0 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=Error in bind() function, NSLocalizedDescription=Permission denied}

Now I know that listening on a Port < 1024 might be restricted, but why did I have no problems on both my iPods and iPad?

3g and wifi environment are different. Have you tried testing it over 3g net environment? – xiaxiulong Aug 21 '12 at 02:39

3G makes no sense for my application, I only want to offer my service in the local wireless. – Bersaelor Aug 21 '12 at 15:41
@Bersaelor Any resolution on this issue? – Drakes Apr 29 '15 at 13:11
No, I just don't use ports < 1024 anymore since It is unclear when they are allowed and when not. – Bersaelor Apr 29 '15 at 13:57
