I added port 443 only because my router converted the port 80 request to a port 443 request. I eventually worked out the reason for that was because my server had started running a firewall that blocked port 80 (and 443). I don't have any interactive pages where I ask for input, so there seems not to be a reason to keep port 443 going on.
