TCP/IP ports: 8080, 18080, but how about port 80?

Looking at this page: http://docs.rainmachine.apiary.io/#introduction/allowed-https-requests

I see: 

"For the RainMachine Mini 8 and RainMachine Touch HD the RESTful interface is accessible via HTTPS on port 8080. HTTP access is only allowed from localhost and it's bound to port 18080."

However the machine responds if it accessed on port 80. It simply works. What gives?

Thanks!

  The port 80 it's just a redirect to the Web Interface on the RainMachine. The API REST interface is on a different port (8080) so it won't collide with other possible port 80 services that users might have on their network when they use NAT on their routers for remote access.

  Although we are providing an automatic proxy service for remote access, NAT method is still available.
