If the firewall is designed to keep people out rather than keep people in
(probably not necessarily the state of most corporations), anything above
1024 is likely to work.
8080 is probably an ok choice, if it indeed is allowed most places. I've
seen it used for experimental web servers (ie testing Apache when moving
from NCSA) and the like as often as I've seen it used as a proxy port.
Another thing to keep in mind is that some people are behind
application-proxy firewalls, and there's probably nothing that can be done
for them, short of making the web interface really good.
