Distributable ASP.NET web server for a commercial product

Question

Does anybody know of a commercially supported distributable web server that can host ASP.NET applications?

I have a commercial server based application to which I want to add a web interface (sort of like a portal for clients.) I cannot expect that all of my customers will have, or want to run, IIS.

Cassini seems a bit limited without SSL support and if someone can provide information on where to find the cassini source code and if its licensed to use for a commercial product, that would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Maybe UltiDev Cassini is what you are looking for: http://www.ultidev.com/products/Cassini/

Edit: Cassini sources can be found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/dmitryr/archive/2005/09/27/474534.aspx

Answer 2

You could always look at Apache + Mono.

Answer 3

I think your best bet might be to host it yourself (in the same way Cassini does). Check out the System.Web.Hosting APIs ... which do support SSL according to this blog post.

The actually amount of code required is fairly small.

I've done something similar with an unmanaged server hosting the CLR and ASP.NET and it provides for very easy interop using C++/CLI between managed world and the unmanaged.
