.net - Alternative to HttpListener?

Question

I'm developing an application that is so far using HttpListener to provide a small standalone http server. However, I've recently discovered that HttpListener needs to be run as Administrator, which is not always going to be possible.

What would the best alternative be? I need http GET and POST, both of which are not simply reading/writing files on the filesystem, they need to run custom .Net code.

My research so far has brought up Cassini, but as far as I can tell, I would have to write a custom version. Is there anything else? In partiular something with the same interface as HttpListener, but that does not require Administrator privileges would be amazing!

Answer 1

One alternative that I've found is C# Webserver on CodePlex.

"... a flexible http server which can be embedded in any .Net application. It has a modular design where features are added using modules. The server also supports REST and all http verbs ..."

It has an HttpListener class which I imagine is similar to System.Net.HttpListener, but I haven't used either one of them yet so I can't be certain.
