Remarks

When a client makes a request for a resource handled by an HttpListener object, the request and response are made available to your application in an HttpListenerContext object. The request is represented by an HttpListenerRequest object and is available in the HttpListenerContext.Request property. The response is represented by an HttpListenerResponse object and is available in the HttpListenerContext.Response property.

You can customize the response by setting various properties, such as StatusCode, StatusDescription, and Cookies. Use the HttpListenerResponse.OutputStream property to obtain a Stream instance to which response data can be written. Finally, send the response data to the client by calling the Close method.
