Kestrel Reviews

Kestrel Description

Kestrel is a cross platform web server for ASP.NET Core. Kestrel is the webserver that's included in ASP.NET Core project templates and enabled by default. Kestrel supports HTTPS and HTTP/2 (except for macOS), Opaque upgrades used to enable WebSockets, Unix sockets for high performance behind Nginx. Kestrel can be used on all platforms and versions of.NET Core. Some browsers require explicit permission to trust the local certificate. Project templates enable apps to run on HTTPS by default. They also include HTTPS redirection support and HSTS support. Kestrel's web server offers a variety of constraint configuration options, which are particularly useful for Internet-facing deployments. A separate limit applies to connections that have been upgraded from HTTPS or HTTPS to another protocol (for instance, on a WebSockets Request). The default request body limit is 30,000,000 bytes. This is approximately 28.6 megabytes.
