http.sys

Can't understand the meaning of this phrase. People on forums suggests each other to reserve url in HTTP.sys, but what does it mean? What is it for? How does it works? All it comes from HttpWebRequest uac problems. Several Win32 APIs and .NET framework components (such as WCF) utilize the HTTP Server API when they want to send or receive HTTP requests targeted at the local machine. The HTTP Server API basically provides such functionality in a manner managed by the OS without the need for deploying a standalone web server such as IIS on the machine. At this point it's probably best to quote

When using a HTTP binding in WCF, I need to grant myself special permissions to be able to bind to that port/path. I understand this is because WCF accepts HTTP traffic through the http.sys driver. In the olden days, we could new up a socket and bind to any old port that wasn't in use, without being an admin. NetTcpBinding is still able to do this. If I don't care for http.sys, is there a way to tell WCF not to use it, and instead to just open up a regular old socket while still using HTTP bindings? WCF HTTP based bindings are dependent on HttpListener class which is managed wrapper around

I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of how IIS works. http.sys i understand is one its major components. However, i have been having trouble finding easily digestible information about it. I couldn't get a good mental model going until i heard about the WSK, then i think it all fell into place. From a lot of random googling a little experimentation this is my current high level understanding of why it exists and how it does it's stuff. Why: Port sharing, and higher performance caching. How: User mode processes use the WinSock api to open a socket listening on a port to gain access to the

I need to enable CORS in Reporting Services so that I can download reports from my web application using ajax. What I've learned so far is, that SSRS is no longer using IIS, but http.sys to serve web.requests. Is there a simple way to add CORS support to SSRS (2012)? I managed to get this working by adding the following code to the global.asax in reportserver directory. <%@ Application Inherits="Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.Global" %> <%@ Import namespace="System.Web" %> <%@ Import namespace="System.Security" %> <script runat="server"> private static bool init; private static object

I'm currently reading a lot about node.js. There is a frequent comparison between servers using a traditional thread per request model (Apache), and servers that use an event loop (Nginx, node, Tornado). I would like to learn in detail about how a request is processed in ASP.NET - from the point it is received in http.sys all the way up to it being processed in ASP.NET itself. I've found the MSDN documentation on http.sys and IIS a little lacking, but perhaps my google-fu is weak today. So far, the best resource I have found is a post on Thomas Marquardt's Blog . Could anyone shed more light

What are the differences between these two prefixes in terms of HttpListener or any other? http://+:8080/ http://*:8080/ Paulpro http://*:8080/ : Receive all HTTP requests on port 8080 that are not already being handled by some other HttpListener . http://+:8080/ : Receive all HTTP requests on port 8080 even if they're already handled by another HttpListener . CodeFox In addition to @Paulpro's great answer, the link posted by @rownage (see this answer ) provides some more information about the difference: Strong wildcard (Plus Sign +) When the host element of a UrlPrefix consists of a single

When testing on Windows 10 we were seeing lots of browser incompatibilities that I hadn't seen before with earlier Windows versions. Some browsers would work, but others would report ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR. My quick search for this problem showed I was not alone. My app uses WWSAPI and HTTP.SYS with HTTPS (TLS). Does anyone know how to disable SPDY / HTTP/2 in WWSAPI (which is using HTTP.SYS) on Windows 10? I'd also love to get a full up-to-date Windows 10 list of registry settings for HTTP.SYS. See below for my answer to this. Hope this helps others too. Mark EDIT: disabling HTTP/2 will
