Why do you think that?  8080 is not usually used for https and afaict
nothing he's doing is trying to use https.

hmmm.  Never tried using another host on 127.0.*.*.  That might well work -
but again, the real problem appears to me to be that he _isn't_ using a
local IP, he's using quecaixa or quecaixa.rio.

Ack!!!  That's never going to work.  You want to use 8080 because it's
generally easier to make _anything_ else use another port than Oracle, and
you MUST use TCP/IP (well, there might be a work-around, but I sure don't
know it).
