HTTPS is port 443. Port 445 is a Windows RPC sort of thing; most Internet
traffic seeking port 445 is a WinWorm of the Blaster, or Sasser variety,
looking for a computer to infect. Port 3715 is in the range of ports
assigned for outbound connections. Most systems start assigning ports at TCP
port 1024 and increment for each outbound request, usually until about 5000,
or so; after that the assignments recycle to 1024. Unless the port
assignment is faster than the wait time for re-assignment; in which case the
ports can go past 5000. Ports in the ten thousands are usually controlled
directly by the application, and not assigned by the TCP/IP process of the
OS.
