ASP.NET Core跨平台技术内幕

ASP.NET Core设计初衷是开源跨平台、高性能Web服务器，其中跨平台特性较早期ASP.NET是一个显著的飞跃，.NET现可以理直气壮与JAVA同台竞技，而ASP.NET Core的高性能特性更是成为致胜法宝。

ASP.NET Core 2.1 为IIS托管新增In-Process模型并作为默认选项（使用IISHttpServer替代了Kestrel，dotnet程序由IIS网站进程w3wp.exe内部托管）。

为展示ASP.NET Core跨平台特性，本文重点着墨经典的Out-Process托管模型。

宏观设计

为解耦平台web服务器差异，程序内置Http服务组件Kestrel，由web服务器转发请求到Kestrel。

老牌web服务器定位成反向代理服务器，转发请求到ASP.NET Core程序（分别由IIS ASP.NET Core Module和Nginx负责）

常规代理服务器，只用于代理内部主机对外网的连接需求，一般不支持外部对内部网络的访问请求；当一个代理服务器能够代理外部网络的主机，访问内部网络，这种代理服务器被称为反向代理服务器。

平台web代理服务器、ASP.NET Core程序(dotnet.exe) 均为独立进程，平台自行决定互动细节，只需确保平台web服务器与Kestrel形成Http通信。

Kestrel

与老牌web服务器解耦，实现跨平台部署。

Kestrel使ASP.NET Core具备了基本web服务器的能力，在内网部署和开发环境完全可使用dotnet.exe自宿模式运行。
Kestrel定位是Http服务组件，实力还比不上老牌web服务器，在timeout机制、web缓存、响应压缩等不占优势，在安全性等方面还有缺陷。

因此在生产环境中建议使用老牌web服务器反向代理请求。

跨平台管控程序，转发请求

要实现企业级稳定部署：

*nix平台

将ASP.NET Core程序以dotnet.exe自宿模式运行，并配置为系统守护进程（管控应用），再由Nginx转发请求。

以下使用systemd创建进程服务文件 /etc/systemd/system/kestrel-eqidproxyserver.service

代码语言：javascript复制

[Unit]
Description=EqidProxyServer deploy on centos

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/eqidproxyserver/eqidproxyServer
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dotnet /var/www/eqidproxyserver/eqidproxyServer/EqidProxyServer.dll
Restart=always
# Restart service after 10 seconds if the dotnet service crashes:
RestartSec=10
TimeoutStopSec=90
KillSignal=SIGINT
SyslogIdentifier=dotnet-example
User=root
Environment=ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production
Environment=DOTNET_PRINT_TELEMETRY_MESSAGE=false

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

代码语言：javascript复制

// 启用服务，在localhost:5000端口侦听请求
sudo systemctl enable kestrel-eqidproxyserver.service

安装Nginx，并配置Nginx转发请求到localhost:5000:

代码语言：javascript复制

server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  default_website;
        root         /usr/share/nginx/html;

        # Load configuration files for the default server block.
        include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

        location / {
        proxy_pass         http://localhost:5000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header   Connection keep-alive;
        proxy_set_header   Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }
    }

Windows平台

[ 管控应用、转发请求] 由ASP.NET Core Module(插入在IIS Pipeline中的原生组件，下面简称ACM)一手操办，w3wp.exe、dotnet.exe的互动关系是通过父子进程维系。

下图脚本力证dotnet.exe进程是w3wp.exe创建出来的子进程：

得益此关系，ACM在创建dotnet.exe子进程时能指定环境变量，约定donet.exe接收（IIS转发的请求）的侦听端口。

实际源码看ACM为子进程设定三个重要的环境变量：

ASPNETCORE_PORT　　约定 Kestrel将会在此端口上监听
ASPNETCORE_APPL_PATH
ASPNETCORE_TOKEN　约定携带该Token的请求为合法的转发请求

与ACM夫唱妇随的是UseIISIntegration()扩展方法，完成如下工作：

① 启动Kestrel服务在http://localhost:{ASPNETCORE_PORT}上监听

② 根据 {ASPNETCORE_TOKEN} 检查请求是否来自ACM转发

ACM转发的请求，会携带名为MS-ASPNETCORE-TOKEN:******的Request Header,以便dotnet.exe对比研判。

③ 利用ForwardedHeaderMiddleware中间件保存原始请求信息

linux平台部署需要手动启用ForwardedHeader middleware https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/proxy-load-balancer?view=aspnetcore-3.1

总结

ASP.NET Core跨平台的核心在于程序内置Kestrel HTTP通信组件，解耦web服务器差异。
