Question

There is a simple http server API that allow you do some simple stuff quickly, without any addition dependency/installation required.

Are there any similar API/library in .NET WITHOUT IIS?

For example, I am a small window service running, I’d like to add a simple stupid web interface to allow local/remote control/monitoring.

Answer 1

HttpListener hooks into HTTP.SYS even without IIS, I believe.

You’ll need to add priveleges to the service account, though – netsh on vista, httpcfg on xp (‘how’ covered here).
