How to write simple REST based server in C# on mono? [closed]

Question

I'm porting a small server from Scala to C# (on Mono) and need to get a very simple REST interface going. Am trying to figure out the easiest (but robust) way to do this.

For reasons I wont go into, NOT using webservers like Apache, Nginx etc would be preferred. Yes, I could manually code up something listening to sockets, parse HTTP request coming in, handle threading etc... but hoping there are libraries or frameworks that already handle this.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I've built a webserver that should work in mono. At least version 1.1 should.

You can find it here: http://webserver.codeplex.com.

It's not a standalone server, you include it in your project and create a webserver in you code. It support all HTTP verbs and got a small MVC framework which makes it easy to create REST services.

Answer 2

Take a look at manos. It's a standalone high performance web application framework which, I think, can be used as a REST based server.
