I use the following command to allow listening of specific HTTP ports:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:[port]/ user=DOMAIN\UserName
But if I need to open a range of ports, can I setup a single rule?

Has anyone found a solution for this? Been researching it for a while and can't find a decent solution. Answer below is useless if you have a large range of ports. – David I. McIntosh Oct 13 '16 at 17:44

did you ever solve this issue? – David I. McIntosh Oct 13 '16 at 18:00

Unfortunately, no. – Igor Semenov Oct 20 '16 at 10:51

Having a range would go against the reason for having the urlacl system in the first place: to force apps to bind to the most minimal portion of the namespace possible, without interfering with other apps. – David Bullock Sep 15 '20 at 15:01

I didn't find any way to specify a range so I went with using built-in FOR command:
for /L %i in ([port_start],1,[port_end]) do netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:%i/ user=DOMAIN\UserName
You can get more info on the FOR command by using 'FOR /?' in command prompt. /L happened to be the one that worked for me because it builds a set of numbers given start, stop and step values.

1Not sure why this was downvoted but it worked perfectly for me... `for /L %i in (32000,1,32099) do netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:%i/ user="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE"` – Basic May 13 '15 at 11:58
