This isn't a bind problem but an HTTP problem.

Your application that only can use port 80 is going to have to get some 
'smarts' so that if the remote host is a port 80 client, to go ahead and 
process commands.

If the remote host is a port 10080 client, then your port 80 app is 
going to have to issue an HTTP redirect to port 10080.
