What is Cassini?

Cassini is a very simple fully managed web server that hosts ASP.NET. It is a combination of a simple HTTP listener built using System.Net.Sockets and a hosting sample of ASP.NET built using System.Web.Hosting APIs that allow hosting of ASP.NET (compiling and running pages, etc.) from any managed application.

What are the uses of Cassini sources?

I can see 3 possible uses, I am sure people will come up with others:
1) Host ASP.NET from your application.
2) Build a better web server based on Cassini, to be embedded into your product.
3) Add support for ASP.NET hosting to an existing web server.

Why Cassini is a DLL that needs to be installed in Global Assembly Cache?

Cassini is a separate assembly (DLL) to make it easily embeddable into other applications. It has to be installed into GAC (using gacutil /i) for technical reasons (cross-domain remoting should be able to load from non-default app domains).

What are the supported platforms?

While Cassini is a fully managed assembly it relies on ASP.NET and thus is limited to the platforms on which ASP.NET would run, including: Windows 2000, XP Professional, XP Home, .NET Server. Cassini would not run on Windows 98/ME or NT4. It would also not run on non-Windows platforms.

What about IIS?

IIS is a real web server (with configuration, logging, authentication, authorization, HTTPS support, support for multiple sites, etc.) tuned for performance and reliability, while Cassini is just a sample and deploying on Cassini is not a good idea. Cassini does not depend on IIS and can run side-by-side with it.

What are the known functionality limitations?

Here are [only some of] known limitations, some of them are easier to overcome than others:
1) Only one ASP.NET application per port.
2) No support HTTPS
3) No support of authentication (NTLM, digest)
4) Only localhost requests

Why is it named Cassini?

It started as a companion to ‘Project Saturn’ and Cassini is nice name related to Saturn (see Cassini and Cassini Division) that seems to be not used much in the software industry. Another reason is that at the time I was reading a sci-fi novel named Cassini Division, not that I recommend it, but if you would like to read it, I suggest to start with this novel.

Please direct further questions to this forum.

Thank you,
