connecting to another port via port 80

["Nishantha Pradeep" <nishantha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all
I am running an apache server on my computer and I am also running chat server on the same computer. The chat server's http-polling is at port 5280 . what I want to do is, I have  a web chat client and that client should access the http-polling at chat server through port 80 because I think is it not a better idea to provide permission to access port 5280 directly. I have add following to my httpd.conf file but after restarting apache and when I go to access the 5280, it says access denied. So please somebody just give me some help to solve this problem.

name of my chat server-->nishantha-LSF
the webclient is at -->/var/www/xmpp/code
my document root /var/www
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName nishantha-LSF
  DocumentRoot /var/www/
  <Directory /var/www/xmpp/code>
    Options  +Indexes +MultiViews
  </Directory>
  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/ [P]
</VirtualHost>
