Document Details

The documentation provides comprehensive coverage 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 Windows bias in several sections: HTTP.sys (a Windows-only technology) is discussed in depth, with explicit mention of Windows tools (netsh), Windows kernel drivers, and Windows-specific endpoint configuration. HTTP.sys examples and explanations are presented before Kestrel in some sections, and Windows-specific configuration steps (such as URL reservation and endpoint setup) are detailed. While Kestrel is recommended for Linux and cross-platform scenarios, the prominence and depth of Windows-specific HTTP.sys content may create friction for Linux/macOS users. PowerShell or Windows command-line tools are referenced for endpoint management, but Linux equivalents are not provided.
