Can I access Cassini from a remote machine?

I had previously thought you could adjust the settings of Cassini to listen for remote connections. However this is only the case if you are building Cassini your self (for use in your application etc) which is what I had used it for previously. The version of Cassini built into the Visual Studio debugger is only accessible locally and that is hard coded.

Your best bet is to install IIS on your local PC and use that.


NO.

According to MSDN, you can't access it from another machine.

What are some known functionality limitations of the Cassini Web server?

  • It can host only one ASP.NET application per port.
  • It does not support HTTPS.
  • It does not support authentication.
  • It responds only to localhost requests.
