DESCRIPTION

xsp is a lightweight standalone web server included with the Mono project for hosting ASP.NET applications on Linux and other Unix-like systems. It serves as a development and testing server, providing a quick way to run ASP.NET WebForms and MVC applications without requiring a full web server setup.The server supports HTTPS via PKCS#12 certificate files and can bind to specific addresses and ports.
