> Folks, as an experiment I want to write a completely stripped bare web application that manually reads the raw request text and sends back the response text.
Aha! I think I found it, sort of. I remembered a few years ago I had to do some custom work inside an ashx file in an ASP.NET project. So I created an empty ASP.NET project (nothing but a config file!) and added an ashx file which has one ProcessRequest method with a HttpContext <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Web.HttpContext(v=vs.110).aspx> as the argument, so I can use the Request and Response properties. This looks like the answer, but If I discover anything frightening I'll let you know -- *Greg K*
