Is it possible to use Apache with OWIN? I'm trying to make an OWIN-based web app using signal r and would like to use apache. I cannot seem to find any examples for how to do this. From my research online it seems like the only option may be to run a http handler on my app and somehow forward requests to the app from apache. This would not be ideal, I would rather integrate apache as a piece of middleware the way OWIN is meant to be used. Another limiting factor is that I am using .NET 4.0 (it would be a very hard sell to get management buy-in on updating tools to get 4.5+). Originally I was using nancy as a webserver, which was working well, but other more senior engineers where I work don't like this and would rather I use a well-known webserver, mainly due to security/IA implications.
From my research online, it seems that the only way to do this is to forward traffic to your application from apache, using it as a proxy. I have also read some stuff online about running an asp.net application in apache using mod_mono but I'm not sure how that factors into OWIN and getting requests to go to your app, unless they too are forwarded.
