Standalone Kestrel
==================
This project demonstrates how to run Kestrel without ASP.NET. It creates a web endpoint on http://localhost:8080 which responds to all requests with "hello world".
It also demonstrates how to add the websocket middleware. If you connect to ws://localhost:8080 (with wscat, for example) it will again respond with "hello world". This time it will be sent as a textual websocket message.
I wrote this code because I was curious to see if it could be done, but it may be interesting for someone. It uses significantly less memory than ASP.NET. Be aware though that it makes use of `.Internal` namespaces which are subject to change by Microsoft. This may cause compatibility difficulties when you upgrade your version of .NET Core.
