Had a very quick look at Cassini, and perhaps I'm overlooking something, but I don't want or need a physical or virtual path. Not done looking by any means, I'll dig deep to see if it is capable of being used as an API server.

My Bad, I shall look, Thanks!

I do have constraints! it must be built in, just as it is in the vMix example provided, for simplicity for the end user. They should not be troubled with setting up a more complex external server. Just like the vMix example, it will be installed on a users desktop, or laptop computer, and listen to a port. When a request is made by a client, the URI string will need to be parsed, and reacted upon. I've been able to listen to a port using AutoHotKey, and respond with a message to the client, but I am not able to determine how to extract the Requested URL from the request message. I need to be able to read it in something other than Chinese to be able to parse it. That is what I should be requesting. Assistance converting the request message to readable form, for parsing.

I guess the proper search keywords would be a start.
I am willing to do the search, but uncertain what to search for to get started.

Being built in, I would think I am looking for a web service, instead of a web server?

I've done searches on HTTP protocol, Server side programming, Web service, and web server.

Are there better keywords to search on that better describe what I want to do?

Most of what I find, is designed to respond with html, but I need to simply grab the URI sent (as in the example provided) to the server, and parse it, react via programming, and respond success or failure.
