      Thanks for article Henrik.  If anyone else gets an exception on creating the HTTP server, the following command line will set the permissions correctly:  

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=domain\user

This must be run from a command window that was "Run as administrator"

    Authentication

      Hi Henrik,

I'm currently trying out your tutorial, looks great so far. I'm wondering how to go about authenticating calls to the API. I understand how this is done using forms, but here I'm not sure what the best approach is. Would you need to set up a secure connection using https and then pass the username/password on each call?

Thanks
