Which well-known TCP port number is traditionally assigned to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) when it is operating without any form of encryption (that is, not HTTPS)?
HTTP without encryption normally uses TCP port 80. Port 443 is reserved for the encrypted variant, HTTPS. Ports 22 and 25 belong to Secure Shell (SSH) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), respectively, so they are incorrect in this context.
