The standard port for a standard HTTP web page is 80.

The whole page including its graphics is sent through this port.


A firewall can also have filters to restrict files by extension such as

only allowing .htm, .gif and .jpg, files, but this is a file filter not

a port setting. These setting are particular to the actual firewall

and/or proxy software that is being used.


I don't know of a particular authoritative source that will answer your

question as stated.
