That seems like an unfriendly thing to do. You'd have to check to see what
port is "standard" for this particular installation, and pick something
else. You may choose an unused port, but perhaps it needs to be used in a
few minutes by some other process, but then will be occupied. The
administrator may also not be happy to have an open port facing the world,
or even just other possibly untrusted users on the same machine, assuming
you bind to localhost.
