Im reading the mongodb guide, but I dont get this:

```
mongodb://fred:foobar@localhost

```

It says I can connect to the mongodb through web browser.

I have tried this, but it doesn't work. Safari/Firefox can't recognize the mongodb protocol.

And why should I do it?

Isn't the mongodb server just for connecting through the command line?

And what is the difference between port 27017 and 28017?

Should I connect through http or mongodb protocol?
