Presumably you've already checked the basic things like that
your code is really connecting on port 8080 and not the standard
http port?  Have you also tried connecting manually with telnet?
Something like "telnet localhost 8080" should work, and if you type
"get / HTTP/1.0" and hit enter a couple of times you ought to get
some reply if an HTTP server is listening.

You don't give enough for anyone to do more than suggest that
"you're right, it doesn't look like it's working". :-)
