Mac App Store Port

Does anyone know the port that the Mac App Store uses? I can't find it online anywhere, probably because it is new. If you know the port, please post it. It will probably help a lot of other people.

MacBook Pro 15", Mac OS X (10.6.6), 3.06 GHz 4 GB RAM

My assumption - based on seeing iTunes links in the past - is http:// and https:// which means 80 and 443.

Its not specifically listed - but you can look here for ports used by apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629

Hmm...thanks. You answered my question well, but I guess I asked the wrong question. I assumed my school blocked the Mac App Store port, but obviously they wouldn't block HTTP 😝. So, I wonder if there is some server that the Mac App Store connects to...Does anyone know?

The Mac App Store doesn't function at my workplace either. It just hangs upon startup saying "One Moment Please Connecting to the iTunes Store." It works fine at home though where I'm in full control of router settings..

EDIT to the above: I just realised my colleague is able to launch the Mac App Store from the corporate network using his latest generation MacBook Pro 13 inch..
