Support for Non HTTP Protocol

To handle non-HTTP Protocol requests, IIS 7.0 and WAS use a set of long running Microsoft NT services. These services, which represent listener adapters, are responsible for monitoring ports and receiving requests. The requests are then handled by an external process, SMSvcHost.exe

Each of the Windows NT services used for non-HTTP protocols must be running on the host computer before you can run any of the non-HTTP sample available on the MSDN Web Site. To ensure that they are running , navigate to Services and check the following services are started.

• Net.Pipe Listener Adapter
• Net.TCP Listener Adapter
• Net.TCP Port Sharing Service.
