As many folks have pointed out, it could be numerous different web
services. This is probably not the case in this instance, but a lot of
times a host that's running a file sharing application will have an HTTP
port open above 1024. Another good tool to try (in addition to Netcat)
is "amap" (http://www.linuxinside.it/download.php?cat=11)

It can sometimes idenfity ports by sending garbage to them and seeing
what ASCII comes back. Try these flags: -d -b -sT
