Huygens

Cut down CassiniDev server for internally hosting IIS sites

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Huygens

Derived from https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=cassinidev and released under the same license.

Library to load, host and run ASP.Net websites inside your own process. Has functionality equivalent to the IIS Developer server. Can expose IP ports or keep sites internal to your process. Supports .Net MVC and Web APIs

To do:

  • Decode HTTP chunked?
  • Accept null Headers on requests

Internal hosting

You can host a site without exposing on an IP port like this:

using (var server = new DirectServer(@"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PublishSample")) // a published site
{
    var request = new SerialisableRequest{
        Method = "GET",
        RequestUri = "/values",
        Headers = new Dictionary˂string, string˃{
            { "Content-Type","application/json" }
        },
        Content = null
    };

    var result = server.DirectCall(request);

    var resultString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(result.Content);
    Console.WriteLine(resultString);
}

Creating a new DirectServer takes a few seconds, but it can handle an unlimited number of DirectCall requests.

External hosting

using (var server = SocketServer(32768, "/", @"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PublishSample"))
{
    server.Start();

    // accessible to web browsers etc.

    server.Stop();
}

Azure hosting

You can't use the SocketServer on Azure, due to permissions limitations. The DirectServer is usable as long as you have a B1 or higher application service plan, and your host app has the Application Setting WEBSITE_LOAD_USER_PROFILE = 1 You can also host the DirectServer in a 'Web Job', 'Worker Role' or 'Service Fabric' resource.
