Creating a virtual mini server
Is it possible to create a virtual mini server (like IIS) that takes http request? I have a toolbar that queries an DLL using http request, and then that DLL stores some arguments in some XML file, which is read by an anti-malware.
Now every customer can't have an IIS server installed. Most of the end users uses Windows XP home edition. So is there a way i can create a virtual mini server that can be used in these PCs for placing http request?

Re: Creating a virtual mini server
You can also create your own local server with the Windows HTTP Server API.

Sounds good? How can I accompalish this? Can you show me some example in VC++.
@Victor, thanks for the link. The customer has strictly said that he wants it in VC++, not C# as most of his customers still use Windows XP, therefore don't have .NET environment

I do use XP and never had any problem with C# applications nor with .NET environment.
Anyway you can include installation of .NET of almost any versions in your setup packet.

Do his customers install windows updates? If so, they already have .Net. If not, it's simple to include in an app setup program.

I tried to convince him on this that, .NET environment is installed with Windows XP service packs. But he is sticking to his thoughts that he doesn't want any involvement of .NET and want to stick with VC++

Re: Creating a virtual mini server
I didn't ever use it, however, since the "Table of Contents" refers to C++6.0 then all the limitations should be in relations with C++6.0 ones.
Just try it!

Can ISAPI run without IIS Server? As mentioned here
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...pplications-Pr
It uses IIS process address space thus, interacting with the IIS Server.

Re: Creating a virtual mini server
And what did MSDN write about ISAPI?

Re: Creating a virtual mini server
In that case I have to look for some other solution, end users don't have IIS Server

Re: Creating a virtual mini server
End users do have IIS, as every Windows does. But piling up an IIS-based solution just for getting XML docs is an overkill as for me.
Google for light weight web server lib c++ and choose some.
Best regards,
Igor

Windows XP home users, don't have IIS server, even for professional users, they have to add IIS by going into Add/Remove Windows component. What I am looking for is, the example that Victor provided in his first thread, but developed in VC++ instead of .NET. Because the client has strictly said that he wants it in VC++.
