How to implement the Lightweight http server using IIS

I would like to create a simple http server that only returns a text but I need to use IIS with. Example, a person access a link to my server(http://anyUrl/abcdef) and my server returns a new url, like a url shorter. So it must be very fast. I dont want to create a webforms project or MVC, so how can I do that?

Perhaps you could create an empty ASP.Net Application Project and add a Generic Handler (.ashx).

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
        context.Response.Write("your stuff");
    }

You need a custom HttpHandler, this kind of thing is well documented, e.g.

I believe the most lightweight way of accomplishing that would be to create an ASP.NET HTTP handler. There is a short tutorial at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308001
