Hi,
Is it a bad practice to serve JS (static content basically - css, js and images) on port 8080 instead of HTTP (80)? If so, why? If not, are there any advantages at all?

A:
80 is the standard http port and mostly all firewalls are configured to allow traffic to this port. Any other port may need specific port privileges configured in firewall.

So yes it bad practice. Don't do it - you'll alienate some of your users.
