IMHO, /dev/tcp/localhost/80 is just a virtual device specific to bash.
Or you can think it as a abstract name. It doesn't really exist on the
filesystem. So you can't use cat to access this file. It can only be
read/written by bash. Like this:
$ less < /dev/tcp/localhost/80
And this is from the bash manpage:
NOTE: Bash, as packaged for Debian, does not support using the
/dev/tcp and /dev/udp files.
