Last build state (master):

Package	Build	Nuget
Yllibed.Framework - stable
Yllibed.HttpServer - stable

Quick start-up

1. First install nuget package:

   	PM> Install-Package Yllibed.HttpServer 

2. Register a server in your app:

   	var myServer = new HttpServer(8080); // create a web server on port 8080
   	myServer.RegisterHandler(new StaticHandler(""))

What it is

• Simple web server which can be extended using custom code
• Integration of http framework like NancyFx

What it is not

• This HTTP server is not designed for performance or high capacity

Limitations

• There is no support for HTTP 2.0 (yet) or WebSockets
• There is no support for HTTPS (TLS)
• On UWP, you can't connect to the server from the same machine (it's a UWP limitation).

What you can do with it

• Use it for building a headless Windows IoT app (for SSDP discovery or simply end-user configuration)
• Use it for remote diagnostics/monitoring on your app

Tips

Opening port on Windows 10 IoT (typically on a Raspberry Pi)

If you want to open "any" port on a Raspberry Pi running Windows 10 IoT, you may need to open a port.

1. First, connect to your device using powershell:

      Enter-PsSession -ComputerName <device name or ip> -Credential .\Administrator

2. Add a rule in the firewall to authorize inbound traffic to your application: (example for port 8080)

      netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="My Application Webserver" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=8080
