-Apps and containers are often given only a port to listen on, like port 80, without additional constraints like host or path. HTTP_PORTS and HTTPS_PORTS are config keys that specify the listening ports for the Kestrel and HTTP.sys servers. These keys may be specified as environment variables defined with the `DOTNET_` or `ASPNETCORE_` prefixes, or specified directly through any other config input, such as `appsettings.json`.
