HTTP listener in TrackerSample doesn't work / Can't use 0.0.0.0 to listen for HTTP requests

[ManlyMarco]

In latest master branch, System.Net.HttpListenerException: 'The request is not supported.' is thrown when trying to start the HTTP listener.

Cause: https://github.com/prometheus-net/prometheus-net/issues/62

Changing this line https://github.com/alanmcgovern/monotorrent/blob/master/src/Samples/TrackerApp/Main.cs#L97 to TrackerListenerFactory.CreateHttp ("http://*:10000/announce/"), removing httpEndpoint above, and running the app as administrator finally makes it work.

thanks，it is normal operation

It is frustrating, but it's 'by design' on windows.

That shows how to properly set up httplistener to allow incoming questions.

The sample works out of the box now - without needing special OS level configuration - and also links to stackoverflow because why not ;)
