Thanks for the response. I allow everything from localhost and from my console PC. There is a rule allowing 443 but the connect request is accepted by iptables long before it gets there.
[root@security network-scripts]# telnet localhost 443
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[root@security network-scripts]# telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
