[Possible bug?]The system setting page hidden input field prevent user from apply setting

[mic4126]

The http://router/Advanced_System_Content.asp page has a
input field

document.form.misc_httpport_x

which is hidden.
However, the applyRule() will check the value of this input field.
so if this field value is in isPortConflict() method list, then user cannot apply setting.

This input field seem useless as connect from wan via HTTP is not supported, so maybe consider remove this input field

Firmware version: 384.7_2
Module : RT-AC86U

Originally that setting was not visible because changing it was not supported (as it would break a bunch of router services hardcoded for port 80). Asus only started making these services configurable last year, so by now I suspect it might be safe to expose this setting to end users.

That port is for LAN side BTW, not WAN side.

Sorry, I got http_lanport and misc_httpport_x mixed up. The first one is LAN-side (and what Asus recently made configurable), while the latter is indeed a leftover from before then forbid the use of non-http port on the WAN interface.

I'll take care of both cases actually.
