What are the (dis)advantages of using Cassini instead of IIS?

by

The built-in web server for Visual Studio is called Cassini and here are a few of its limitations…

  • It can host only one ASP.NET
    application per port.
  • It does not support HTTPS.
  • It does not support authentication.
  • It responds only to localhost
    requests.
  • It is slow startup compared to IIS
