HTTP requests on different ports

[langston-barrett]

How do you make an HTTP request to a port other than 80? Do you just feed a different URL, e.g. getString "100.10.10.10:8080/endpoint"? If so, it might be worth adding this to the examples.

I've just tried it (see this gist) and it seems to indeed "just work" if you specify a port number (I had elm reactor running).

I'm not sure how relevant it would be to add this to the examples, as it's something people would usually just try and expect to work imho.

fair enough. feel free to close if it doesn't seem worthwhile
