Yesterday, for purely nostalgic reasons, I spent an inordinate amount of
time* repairing a local IIS implementation of AVFP:
https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=activevfp
Then today I spent part of the afternoon looking at blogs by people who
implemented Windows IoT on RasPi's.
I was bemused by the convolutions needed to implement the very simplest
web server with Asp.Net or .Net Core on this setup.
Sitting here with a beer I suddenly remembered a web server implemented
in FoxPro, and to my surprise 30 secs on Google threw up the link:
http://www.eetasoft.ee/ewebserv.htm - If you search Ed's Archives you
will find it discussed - many many years ago.
From memory it just worked - it wasn't very scaleable but it 'did what
it said on the tin'.
I'll give it a run tomorrow.
/ * Uninstalling and re-installing IIS is not as straightforward as it
sounds!/

The latest version of the Westwind Web Connection framework (7.10) has the option to run from a self-contained .Net Core based web server. It's flagged as a preview at the moment but knowing Rick I would expect it to pretty stable.

What's the advantage of that, RK?

No IIS installation or setup required. Check Rick's release notes for a better explanation than I can give.

I use IIS because I've got it on my Win10 PC - the RasPi implementations
didn't use IIS but the overheads and general complexity are substantial
compared to eetasoft (... or Python - before Ed butts in <g>)
