A question from an email:
"I am looking for options to get this working with ssl encryption and found the support in standard .NET very complicated. Since it is based on http.sys, it requires certificates to be registered on the OS-level, which is not desireable in my case. As far as I understand, UWS is designed to be deployed as a standalone service (as an IIS replacement). Is there a way to use it more like a library embedded into our service and host wcf data services over ssl?"

Hi,

A quick note: UWS does not replace an IIS, but co-exists side-by-side.

To the point: although UWS cannot be used as a library, it still can be used and shipped as a component, kind of like SQL Server Express: it's its own service, not a library, but it's a fully redistributable, configurable, and programmable component. UWS exists exactly because self-hosting of services and web apps only looks simple. But once reliability and security requirements are included, maintaining services self-hosting becomes a significant problem.

One thing to remember though, is that securing redistributable applications via SSL should be done by end users explicitly, not by the application installer.

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.
