In the meantime I have resolved the problem. If someone else has a similar
problem, read this ...

I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was, but what I did was delete
the existing firewall rule (which I created months ago) that allows HTTP
requests, and tried to re-create the same rule. But it wouldn't let me
because it said a rule for opening port 80 already existed !! So I found
the other existing rule and enabled that, and it worked.
Why my existing rule was allowed to be created (months ago mind you) when a
port 80 rule already existed ... I don't understand.
Anyway, it works now, so I'm happy (but still confused).
