How to get my Server's Http class code to work in Windows 7

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a client that can do Http POSTs and a server that can do HttpListener operations
in Windows XP. The existing Http classes from MSDN library for my server don't work in
Windows 7 i.e. HttpListener, HttpListenerRequest, HttpListenerResponse,
and HttpListenerContext. Is anyone familiar with other existing Http classes that work in Win 7 or patches for my server?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Kent

I think you'd be better off refining your question and expanding on 'don't work' - what does this mean, what error(s) do you get (Im assuming your code compiles)

... and have you checked a) Windows 7 Firewall settings b) any Virus systems like McAfee to see if they are blocking comms (if this is the 'don't work bit')

also - trawl through here and see if you need to run in admin more (or if that helps), and the discussion thereof

Not a question. (We cannot consider as a question "is anyone familiar...", can we? :-)

According to the MSDN documentation, at least HttpListener does work in Win 7, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/system.net.httplistener. So, one has to wonder what on earth you are talking about.
