Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive guidance for both Kestrel (cross-platform) and HTTP.sys (Windows-only) web servers in Service Fabric Reliable Services. While Kestrel is recommended and well-documented for cross-platform (Linux/Windows) scenarios, HTTP.sys (a Windows-only technology) is also described in detail, with its limitations on non-Windows platforms clearly stated. In some sections, Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as HTTP.sys and netsh) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents or alternatives, and Windows-specific configuration is sometimes described first. However, the documentation does not omit Linux support and generally recommends Kestrel for cross-platform use.
Recommendations
  • When introducing HTTP.sys, explicitly state up front that it is Windows-only and direct Linux/macOS users to Kestrel before providing HTTP.sys details.
  • In code and configuration examples, consider showing Kestrel (cross-platform) examples first, or in parallel with HTTP.sys, to reinforce Linux parity.
  • Where Windows-specific tools (like netsh) are mentioned, briefly note that these are not required for Kestrel or on Linux.
  • Add a short summary table or section at the top clarifying which features are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
  • Ensure that all critical scenarios (stateless/stateful, internal/external) have Kestrel-based examples and guidance shown first or equally.
