System.Net.HttpListener

[Antimon]

Hi,
Anyone using the new System.Net.HttpListener class included in 2.0? How
about the performance?
And can it register for example "http://host:80/app" to use with iis
running website on "http://host:80/" ? I cannot register same port
prefix when iis is running on winxp sp2. But it might be working on
w2k3.

The performance is good with HttpListener. And yes you can have more than
one process on port 80 with Win2003 due to it being IIS6 not IIS5. One thing
to be careful of though is registering a prefix in this way requires admin
privilege (unless the ACL of teh prefix has already been modified to allow
the account using httpcfg.exe)
