Summary
The documentation provides thorough coverage of both Kestrel (cross-platform) and HTTP.sys (Windows-only) web servers for ASP.NET Core in Azure Service Fabric. However, Windows-specific tools and APIs (e.g., HTTP.sys, netsh, Windows HTTP Server API) are discussed in detail, often before or alongside Kestrel. HTTP.sys usage is described with explicit notes about Windows-only support, but Linux/macOS equivalents or considerations are not mentioned. Examples and endpoint configuration instructions reference Windows tools (netsh) and concepts, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS setup or troubleshooting examples. Kestrel is correctly positioned as the preferred cross-platform option, but Windows-specific patterns and tools are given significant space and are sometimes discussed first.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions or troubleshooting notes for Service Fabric and ASP.NET Core hosting, especially for endpoint configuration and port management.
- Include example workflows or code snippets for Linux/macOS environments, such as how to configure firewall rules or manage ports without Windows tools like netsh.
- Clarify that Kestrel is the only supported web server for Linux/macOS, and provide guidance for Linux users on avoiding Windows-only features.
- Reorder sections to present cross-platform (Kestrel) options before Windows-only (HTTP.sys) options, emphasizing Linux/macOS parity.
- Add a summary table or section highlighting platform support for each web server and feature.
