no, who told you that? on most operating system you will need special privileges to open a local port below 1024.
port numbers always identical for tcp?
no, who told you that? only the remote (server) port is fixed. the client usually chooses any free port (in the high range).
Anyway, [tcpclient] lets you do the important CRLF combo which [netclient] won't, and any http-compliant web server will not reply until it gets that.
you can add CRLF with [netclient] as well, but it is far more complicated than with [tcpclient]. on the other side, it is more complicated to generate your query and interpret the response with [tcpclient]
