That namespace looks awesome. :) I have been impressed with the organization and namespaces I have seen so far. 👍

Quick question from a newb: is "Kestrel" also the same as references to "K" that have been used throughout the history of this project? Is there a link/backstory behind this for the curious?

[halter73]

"Project K" was the old code name for ASP.NET 5 as a whole. The k command was what is now dnx.

The fact that Kestrel happens to start K is a happy coincidence as far as I know. @lodejard or @davidfowl probably know whether or not this was intentional.

awesome! Use of "Kerstel" is limited to local development or it would be used in production in future?

[Eilon]

@NeelBhatt the goal is both.

I've noticed that --config option to store settings in another file is no longer supported.
like
Server = Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel
Server.Urls = http://191.145.10.145:5000

"Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel --config hosting_local.ini"

@developer1998 --config is still supported, but the file format was changed to json. If you don't specify the --config option RC1 will look in hosting.json by default.

[developer1998]

@Tratcher thanks, do you have a link to schema to see what is supported, or give me a sample... Thanks

[developer1998]

I've figured out the JSON

{
    "server": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel",
    "server.urls": "http://196.145.2.133:5000"
}
