I'm a little bit confused: HTTP use port 80 and Gnutella 6346, how can they communicate? Even if I can send "Get /HTTP/1.1" to other peers, they're not servers, how can they response with the file name list? If they can, what is the HTTP request for the file name list? Thanks.

If you read the HTTP protocol you will see, that HTTP does not have a standard port.

If I want to set up a HTTP connection, how do I know the file path on the other computer?

You always have to know the URL in advance, before making the HTTP connection. How you learned of that URL does not really matter and is not covered by the HTTP specs.

Can anybody tell me how the "Browse Host" function in many P2P software finds out the URL of the other peers? Thanks.

Read the GDF protocol documents:

Or read the code:
