WCF without HTTP.SYS

Viewed 3031

When using a HTTP binding in WCF, I need to grant myself special permissions to be able to bind to that port/path. I understand this is because WCF accepts HTTP traffic through the http.sys driver.

In the olden days, we could new up a socket and bind to any old port that wasn't in use, without being an admin. NetTcpBinding is still able to do this.

If I don't care for http.sys, is there a way to tell WCF not to use it, and instead to just open up a regular old socket while still using HTTP bindings?
