Summary
The documentation provides a balanced overview of both Kestrel (cross-platform) and HTTP.sys (Windows-only) web servers for ASP.NET Core in Azure Service Fabric. However, there is a notable emphasis on HTTP.sys, including detailed configuration and usage sections, despite it being Windows-only. Windows-specific tools and APIs (such as netsh and the Windows HTTP Server API) are referenced without always providing equivalent Linux/macOS guidance. The HTTP.sys section appears before the Kestrel section, and some explanations and diagrams focus on Windows-specific mechanisms. However, Kestrel is clearly recommended for cross-platform scenarios, and Linux users are not blocked from completing any tasks.
Recommendations
  • Move the Kestrel (cross-platform) section before the HTTP.sys (Windows-only) section to emphasize Linux/macOS parity.
  • Clearly label HTTP.sys sections and code samples as 'Windows-only' at the start of those sections.
  • Where Windows tools like netsh are mentioned, briefly note that these are not required or available on Linux/macOS, and clarify that Kestrel is the supported option for those platforms.
  • Consider adding a short summary or table at the top of the article indicating which web server options are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
  • Ensure that all critical code samples and configuration steps are available for Kestrel, and that Linux/macOS users are not directed to Windows-only features.
