ASP-STATE(1)

💖 NAME 💖

XSP — the Mono ASP.NET Session State Server, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. asp-state is the little program that holds your sessions so your web app doesn't have to. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

asp-state [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. asp-state is an out of process ASP.NET session state server. Out of process meaning your session data does not live inside your web app's own little brain — it gets saved somewhere else entirely. 💅

Which means, and this is the iconic part, asp-state lets you have session data saved out of process and/or on a separate computer. Two whole options. Main character energy fr fr. 👑

To actually use the asp- server, you just gotta modify your web.config file so it points at the state server, like this:

<sessionState mode="StateServer"
              stateConnectionString="tcpip=server:port"
              stateNetworkTimeout="number of seconds"/>

And then run asp-state. That's the whole ritual, no cap. 🎀

not me stressing that you need the config change and the running server — yes bestie, both. one without the other is giving nothing. 😭
