ok this article tells you how to generate the certificate - but how can you make our Codeplex Webserver to point at this certificate? Thanks

C# WebServer

This project is not being supported anymore.

You can either use my networking library Griffin.Networking with the HTTP protocol implementation to get something like the standard HttpListener. Both assemblies are available at nuget.

You can also use the new Griffin.WebServer. Which is slowly taking shape. It's a lot faster than C# WebServer.

Current features in Griffin.WebServer

File handling
- Caching
- Partial downloads (Range support, i.e. continue downloads)
Authentication
- Basic
- Digest
Request body handling
- multipart/form-data (to handle file uploads)
- UrlEncoded (the most common body encoding)
- Support any file size (large files are written to temporary files)
Response body handling
- Allows streaming of large files with low memory usage. Just attach a FileStream etc.
Better module support
- different types of modules which are executed in a specific order (authentication models are for instance always run first)
- Regex routing module

Legacy information

Features in v1.1

HTTP Basic and Digest authentication - The authentication process is activated either by throwing the UnauthorizedException or tagging controller methods with a special attribute.
Controllers ("C" in MVC)
Template engines ("V" in MVC)
Multiple web sites module (serve multiple websites in same server).
HTTPS Support (SSL)
Multilingual applications
Validator - Validates input (got multilingual support)
Uniform input handling - Handle querystring/form/xml in the same way (you can add your own decoders too).
Helpers
Testing Simplified testing of controllers.

Features in v2.0

Version 2.0 is still a beta. Use v1.1 if you need a stable version.

MVC
External view engines (Spark, NHaml support included)
HTTPS
HttpFactory -> incject your own types to create a custom server.
Abstract logging system -> Very easy to add support for your favorite logging framework. Built in support for console logging.
Each header is parsed into an object -> Easier to handle header information.

Click on the documentation tab for examples.

Code documentation

Extremely well-commented source code
C# Webserver is written mostly in C#.

Across all C# projects on Ohloh, 22% of all source code lines are comments. For C# Webserver, this figure is 37%.

This very impressive number of comments puts C# Webserver among the best 10% of all C# projects on Ohloh.

A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.

Can someone tell me how to generate a X509Certificate for HttpListener with openssl, your any reply will high be appreciated! Thank you! var certificate = new X509Certificate2("C:\\yourcert.dat", "yourpassword"); ~~~~~~~~~~~

Well. when i try to make a error page using vb.net, im adding a handler" AddHandler listener.ErrorPageRequested, AddressOf OnError and then the Sub OnError(sender ...) However i always get the error that it is not compatible.

New Comment on "HttpListener"

epicus — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 03:34:38 GMT

Hey, I tried to port it too VB and thats what I got: Imports HttpServer Imports System.Net Imports System.Text Module Main Sub Main(ByVal args As String()) Dim listener As HttpServer.HttpListener = HttpServer.HttpListener.Create(IPAddress.Loopback, 8089) AddHandler listener.RequestReceived, AddressOf OnRequest listener.Start(5) Console.ReadLine() End Sub Sub OnRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RequestEventArgs) Dim buffer As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("<html><body>Hello wordl!</body></html>") e.Request.Body.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) End Sub End Module but sadly. its not working. what am I doing wrong?

If you like this project, please vote on this codeplex issue. It's annoying that CodePlex can't handle subversion properly.

This project contains a modular web server.

For starters, you can just use the HTTPListener to handle HTTP requests.
Add the listener to the webserver to be able to serve files easily.
Create your own HTTP module and include it in the web server.
Use the MvcServer to get controllers and views.
Load an external view engine. Currently supporting nhaml and Spark.

New Comment on "controller module"

loudenvier — Mon, 16 May 2011 03:05:30 GMT

The ControllersSample doesn't work with version 2.0. You need to use IActionResult... public class UserController : RequestController { public IActionResult Edit() { return new StringContent("Ohh, you wanted to edit " + Id + "?"); } } This should work... For the second example, maybe BinaryContent will work...

ok - using the HttpServer.v1.1.zip dll - got this to work... BTW downloaded the source code release and have a look at the "tutorials" and "samples" folders from which this working version was extracted.... using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Threading; using HttpServer; using HttpListener = HttpServer.HttpListener; namespace WebServerTest { class Program { private static void Main(string[] args) { HttpListener listener = HttpListener.Create(IPAddress.Any, 8089); listener.RequestReceived += OnRequest; listener.Start(5); Thread.Sleep(9000000); } private static void OnRequest(object sender, RequestEventArgs e) { IHttpClientContext context = (IHttpClientContext)sender; IHttpRequest request = e.Request; IHttpResponse response = request.CreateResponse(context); StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(response.Body); writer.WriteLine("Goodbye to you too!"); writer.Flush(); response.Send(); } } }

ok i give up whats the magic incantation.... when i comment in any of the "e.response" lines in the OnRequest i get an error.... "....'HttpServer.RequestEventArgs' does not contain a definition for 'Response' and no extension method 'Response' accepting a first argument of type 'HttpServer.RequestEventArgs' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)..." using HttpServer.v1.1.zip dll, various c#'s (2.0, 3.5 and 4.0) & vs2010 builds and runs perfectly when commented out and can watch call being made to the OnRequest() using System.Threading; using HttpServer; namespace DatabaseServer { public class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { HttpListener listener = HttpListener.Create(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, 8089); listener.RequestReceived += OnRequest; listener.Start(5); Thread.Sleep(9000000); } public static void OnRequest(object sender, RequestEventArgs e) { //e.Response.Connection.Type = ConnectionType.Close; //byte[] buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("<html><body>Hello wordl!</body></html>"); //e.Response.Body.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); } } }

Across all C# projects on Ohloh, 22% of all source code lines are comments. For C# Webserver, this figure is 37%.

This very impressive number of comments puts C# Webserver among the best 10% of all C# projects on Ohloh.
