Connecting to port 8085 works fine for me using a browser -- if all you're looking for is the debug output. Sometimes I find it more convenient than using telnet from the Windows command prompt if I want to examine large debug output strings.

It works for me using Roku firmware 3.1 build 1017. It works better with Firefox and Chrome. With Internet Explorer, the linefeeds are not handled properly.
