 Ah! My mistake!
 
 I just let bitnami do the install. I did no configuration, but
 perhaps an  option for port 80 was there in the setup interface. I
 would assume however that the apache instance would use the same
 configuration that the instance on port 80 does. 
 
 I believe that the jQuery.get() function may be what is
 needed. I will try it and report back tomorrow.
 thank you
