Document Details

The documentation provides thorough coverage of both HTTP.sys (Windows-only) and Kestrel (cross-platform) web servers for ASP.NET Core integration with Azure Service Fabric Reliable Services. However, Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as HTTP.sys, netsh, and Windows HTTP Server API) are described in detail, often before their Linux equivalents or alternatives. There are explicit notes about HTTP.sys being Windows-only, but Linux/macOS users are not given equivalent examples or troubleshooting guidance for non-Windows environments. Kestrel is described as the preferred cross-platform option, but Linux-specific considerations (such as firewall configuration, service manifest setup, or troubleshooting) are not addressed. Additionally, some example code and configuration steps are presented with Windows-centric assumptions (e.g., endpoint registration, port sharing), and Visual Studio debugging is referenced as a next step without mention of Linux/macOS alternatives.
