iisexpress: listen on external interface without modifying config file:

I want to run a WebService project with IISExpress and use the following command line to start it:

iisexpress.exe /path:c:\MyService /port:8000

That works, but the webserver is only accessible by http://localhost:8000/MyService.asmx

I know that I can modify the users applicationhost.config file to add my site and use

iisexpress.exe /site:MyService

to start it, but, if it's possible I would prefer to use the configless approach to allow external connections to iisexpress.

Have you modified HTTP.SYS to allow external traffic? Check these articles out for info on how to do that:

I've got mine serving up the site to external traffic fine, but I have modified the applicationhost.config file to do it. Then I have just created a .bat file to run the command:

"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe" /site:MySite
