Unfortunately, that fails with a 404 error. Services API endpoints
that change things must be an HTTP POST and the link causes a GET
(not yelling, just convention.)

The --data flag in curl causes a POST, and it adds the setting in the
DB. It just doesn't cause the frontend to listen on a different port.

And I thought it would be an easy solution. Maybe that's why there's
no GUI to change it. I think I'll give it a rest.
