Google Chrome ERR_UNSAFE_PORT

When trying to access a port and Google Chrome gives you
Error 312 (net::ERR_UNSAFE_PORT): Unknown error
there are two ways to fix that problem:

  1. Rebuild from chromium sources (yuck!)
  2. start chrome with a parameter

For the second solution in Windows you will need to change the Start Menu entry to e.g. „C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –explicitly-allowed-ports=nnnn“ where nnnn is the port that has been blocked.
On the Mac you can either start chrome with the terminal with “
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app –args –explicitly-allowed-ports=PORTNUMBER“ or create you own app with Automator
