In this episode Ivana learns how to grant Node.js network capabilities so that she can use port 443 for her HTTP/2 Server. Over the past couple of months everything had been developed and tested on her staging server which was configured to listen on port 8443. Browser access to the staging area was through the URL: Ivana needed to make the server available to the general public on port 443 instead of port 8443. But she knew that ports 0 through 1023 are well-known system ports and that access to them was forbidden by unprivileged software. The HTTP/2 Server that she was deploying is a Node.js server.
