HttpSelfHostServer use prefixes like HttpListener

Question

There is Prefixes field in HttpListener. You can add some string like "http://+:8080/" and your application just process all queries to 8080 port.

I have HttpSelfHostServer it can use only valid Uri string like input to it HttpSelfHostConfiguration class. I want to get same behaviour in my HttpSelfHostServer like in HttpListener with prefixes like:

http://+:8080/

http://*:8080/

http://some.url:8080/

And so on...

...
var configuration = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration(prefix)
var server = new HttpSelfHostServer(configuration);
...

Answer 1

localhost gets rewritten to + in this case, so localhost:8080, 0.0.0.0:8080, 127.0.0.1:8080 should all work in the case you want to listen on all interfaces.

In the case where you don't want this automatic re-writing to happen, The second argument for HttpSelfHostConfiguration takes a HostNameComparisonMode which can be set to Exact.
