Implementing simple Http service through HttpListener under .NET

HttpListener provides a simple, programmatically controllable HTTP protocol listener. It can easily provide some Http services without starting a large service program such as IIS. The process of using HttpListener is very simple: it is mainly divided into the following steps

1. Create an HTTP listener object and initialize

2. Add the URI prefix that needs to be listened to

3. Start listening for requests from the client

4. Process the client’s Http request

5. Close the HTTP listener

For example: We want to implement a simple Http service, download files, or perform some other operations, such as sending emails, using HttpListener to listen, processing the email queue, and avoiding synchronization waiting on the website. And get some cached data and other behaviors

Calling method: Note that the startup program here must be run as an administrator, because the morning monitoring needs to open the port. All need to be run as administrator.

The result after execution is:



It is used here through a simple control program HttpListener implements a simple Http service program. There are a small number of threads and asynchronous processing. For example, when a behavioral information request is received, it can be returned to the user first, so that the user can perform the next operation without waiting synchronously. Another example is the implementation of a simple mail server that sends the request to HttpListener to receive it. It returns immediately after the request and leaves it to the queue to send the email. There may be delays in sending emails, so there is no need to wait.
