Just add the url along the lines of http:\/\/+8080\/ (or whatever port you’re using). Then added group or users (for example BUILTIN\\Users and NT AUTHORITY\\LOCAL SERVICE) and assign GenericExecute access to them.<\/p>\n

This works whilst running within Visual Studio as well as running a standalone EXE.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a more hardcore approach then run netsh as admin, either typing <\/p>\n

netsh http add urlacl url=http:\/\/+:8080\/MyService\/ user=DOMAIN\\user<\/em><\/p>\n

or you can run netsh (again as admin) and then enter the command <\/p>\n

http add urlacl url=http:\/\/+:8080\/MyService\/ user=DOMAIN\\user<\/em><\/p>\n

netsh works like a folder structure, to equally you can type http followed by enter to enter the http section and enter everything after the http section of the command line.<\/p>\n
