Non standard ports have been incredibly ineffective as a security measure for a long time.

    It's not security. It's a website with books. The landing page can be whatever so that it is inconspicuous.

    That's my point. This is known as security by obscurity and it's not effective. We can scan ports on IPs quickly and easily and determine the service running on said port along with that. HTTPS would be easily identified.
