[ale] IP table question

The  following line on a web server with IP of 192.168.1.50 allows my 
computer with IP of 192.168.1.100 to access the web site of the 
server.  But it also allows access via https from my computer.  I thought 
https used another port.  Could someone explain this?

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s ! 192.168.1.100 -j DROP

The server is running Fedora.


Thanks,

Terry Bailey
