Hi,

the upcoming promoted build (29) will by default enable ports
unification of the following protocol:

For developer profile (GlassFish|PE)
------------------------------------

All unsecure http-listener except the admin http-listener will now be
able to handle more than one protocol. By default, http and ws/tcp
(Tango/WSIT) protocols are supported. If you don't expect to use ws/tcp,
you can remove that line from domain.xml:

<http-listener ...>
     <property name="proxiedProtocols" value="ws/tcp"/>
</http-listener>

For cluster/enterprise profiles (Cluster|EE)
---------------------------------------------
All unsecure http-listener except the admin http-listener will now be
able to handle more than one protocol. By default, http and ws/tcp
(Tango/WSIT) protocols are supported.

All admin http-listener will now support transport 'plain text' and
'secure' (tls/ssl). For example, a request to http://localhost:4848 will
be redirected to https://localhost:4848.

To remove http->https redirection, remove from domain.xml:

<http-listener ...>
     <property name="proxiedProtocols" value="http"/>
</http-listener>

The current list of supported transports and protocols are:

protocols: ws/tcp, http
transports: tls

Other protocols will soon be added :-). If you are interested to
implement custom protocol on top of GlassFish, just let us know.

Thanks
