Answer 3

The reason why it happens is IPV6. Windows 8 is by default an IPV6-first Operating System. How? Well just go to command-prompt and run the command

ping localhost  

You will be getting response from ::1 i.e. the loopback address for IPV6. When you try to connect to the server it uses the port 80 along with IPV6 to locate it.
