The goal of the CassiniDev project is to provide an open platform for developing a robust ASP.Net web server implementation that addresses many of the limitations and difficulties encountered when using Cassini and/or Visual Studio Development Server. CassiniDev is suitable for use as a standalone WinForms GUI application, a console application, self hosting and in automated testing scenarios including continuous integration and as a 100% compatible drop-in replacement for the Visual Studio 2008/2010 development server.
Highlights
Full support for any IP address. Not limited to localhost.
NOTE: Due to an intentional limitation in SimpleWorkerRequest, WCF content is not servable on other than the loopback (localhost)
HostName support with option to temporarily add hosts file entry.
Port scan option. Dynamically assign an available port when specific port is not required or known to be available.
WaitOnPort: Length of time, in ms, to wait for specific port to become available.
TimeOut: Length of time, in ms, to sit idle before stopping server.
NTLM authentication support.
Single file GUI and Console applications and a library assembly for in-process hosting.
Painless self hosting of a full ASP.Net server implementation for applications and testing frameworks.
Unlike Cassini and Visual Studio Development Server, CassiniDev supports a full compliment of content types.
Integrated request/response log and viewer to support debugging.
Visual Studio 2008/2010 Development server drop-in replacement with all CassiniDev enhancements. Read more: Codeplex
