Hi Dan,
Thanks for the response. Unless I can figure out otherwise, I will have to do as you suggest.
As of Windows Server 2003, Windows has a built in webserver called HTTP.SYS.
You call netsh http add and reserve a particular URL for your application. Then, windows forwards all http requests it gets to that URL to your application.
Synopse has made a simple component that uses this to allow you to share port 80 among multiple applications without IIS.
It would be fantastic if one of the IW application types was to use HTTP.SYS directly. That way, you could have multiple intraweb apps, on the same server, with the same IP, all listening to port 80 without having the hassle of configuring IIS. Of course, IIS has other benefits if you need them, but applications with simple requirements, IIS is overkill.
I will do some research to see if there is a way to do this and report back if I find anything.
