Handling multiple requests with C# HttpListener

Question

I have a .NET Windows Service which spawns a thread that basically just acts as an HttpListener. This is working fine in synchronous mode example...

Answer 1

You need to use the async method to be able to process multiple requests. So you would use e BeginGetContext and EndGetContext methods.

Have a look here.

The synchronous model is appropriate if your application should block while waiting for a client request and if you want to process only one *request at a time*. Using the synchronous model, call the GetContext method, which waits for a client to send a request. The method returns an HttpListenerContext object to you for processing when one occurs.
