which asp net hosting site allows to listen on differnt port than 80 and uses .net 4?
- by ijjo
i'm trying to take advantage of html 5 web sockets in .NET and the easiest way appears to do something like this guy does:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webservices/c_sharp_web_socket_server.aspx?msg=3485900#xx3485900xx
i've already tested this myself and it works great, but there are a few problems if i try to deploy this to my hosting site (discountasp.net). basically i am not allowed to open up a port on 8080 and listen on it. i then tried to figure out a way to listen non port 80 with IIS as well, but using the HTTPListener runs into sercurity issues as well that doesn't seem like will help since i can't mess with this stuff on the hosting site server either:

so to make my life easier, i think i need to find a hosting site that simply allows me to open up a socket on port 8080 and listen on it. anyone know of one?
or anyone know of a workaround (besides sniffing ALL the traffic on port 80)?
