Listen to HTTP requests

I have a C# form application which I want to have listening for incoming HTTP requests from other computers.

How would I go about doing this?

If it's an asp.net application, you can check the http requests in the Application_BeginRequest event handler of your global.asax.

You can use ASP.NET Http Filters to intercept HTTP requests.

For simple needs, the HttpListener class is a good and simple choice. There is an example on the linked MSDN page.

If, for some reason, you cannot use HttpListener, the process would be to listen to a port using TcpClient (or even the sockets API if you need the gritty details), and then implement the HTTP Protocol. I highly recommend HttpListener over rolling your own, unless you have specific requirements that HttpListener does not meet.
