HttpPlatformHandler was created by Microsoft Azure team and made publicly available in 2015. More history about this Microsoft product can be found in this blog post.

As Microsoft didn't publish any new release after v1.2 and more issues related to this old release were reported by users, there is a need to give the user community something new. Our team at LeXtudio Inc. are experienced .NET developers with extensive IIS knowledge so we decided to give this a try.

We chose to fork and build up ASP.NET Core module, which was initially a fork of HttpPlatformHandler itself, now is both open-source and well maintained by Microsoft ASP.NET Core team. By renaming many things through the code base, we are able to derive a slim module that just works for any programming languages/application servers. And most importantly we keep this new module backward compatible with HttpPlatformHandler v1.2. That's why we simply call it HttpPlatformHandler v2.

The changes we make are released under MIT.

Find a release from the Releases section and you can see the installers (x86, x64, and ARM64).

Install them according to the IIS/IIS Express builds you are using, and then you can apply your previous knowledge/configuration of HttpPlatformHandler.

Bugs or questions can be reported to the Issues section.
