Stumbled across this piece of obscure writing from MSDN on HttpListener:

When a port is specified, the host element can be replaced with "*" to indicate that the HttpListener accepts requests sent to the port if the requested URI does not match any other prefix. For example, to receive all requests sent to port 8080 when the requested URI is not handled by any HttpListener, the prefix is "http://*:8080/". Similarly, to specify that the HttpListener accepts all requests sent to a port, replace the host element with the "+" character, "https://+:8080". The "*" and "+" characters can be present in prefixes that include paths.

Sooo... if I use a *, it (whatever "it" is) receives requests but they're not handled by any (including mine) HttpLisenter?

if I use a +, my HttpListener accepts (and I suppose handles) the request???

Gawd, between "receive", "accept", and "handled", I have no idea what they're actually trying to say.
