* Welcome to XSP!
-----------------

	The XSP server is a small web server that hosts the Mono
    System.Web classes for running what is commonly known as ASP.NET.

* Compiling and Running XSP
---------------------------

	To compile XSP you need a `make' compatible tool, then type
    the following commands:

	make 
	make install

    Then to run it, go to the directory that contains your .aspx
    files, and execute xsp:

	cd my-asp-dir
	mono xsp.exe 

    You can optionally provide a port where the server should run:

	mono xsp.exe --port 80

    The default is port 8080, or you can configure the server using
    the web.config file.

    There are other command line options and appSettings options.
    Run 'mono server.exe --help' to view all of them.

    This is not a full fledged server, it is just a shell for hosting
    ASP.NET.

* Hosting
---------

        The System.Web classes provide what is commonly known as
    ASP.NET, it provides the platform to run web applications and web
    services, and provides a number of hooks that allows the user to
    host it on applications or other web servers. 

        If you are interested in hosting the ASP.NET classes for
    higher performance in an Apache module or your favorite web
    server, you could use the code in this module as a starting point
    for it. See mod_mono in mono CVS.

	The code to look at is: server/MonoApplicationHost.cs and
    server/MonoWorkerRequest.cs.
