Kestrel in PowerShell

Trying to get Kestrel to work in PowerShell

This works, sort-of, but for some reason it won't actually serve pages. I get nothing but "The connection was reset" or "can't reach this page"

Before you can run Start-Kestrel, you need to download a bunch of assemblies, and since my example is just trying to serve files, you'll need a file or two...

From an empty folder where you're going to put Start-Kestrel.ps1 we need to install a thousand DLLs or so...

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.App -ProviderName NuGet -Destination bin -Source nuget.org -Force

We need a static file, we can make one:

New-Item Web\wwwroot -Type Directory -Force
Set-Content Web\wwwroot\view.html -Value @"
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Example View</title>
  </head>
  <body id="grody">
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
  </body>
</html>
"@

Then, just copy Start-Kestrel.ps1 and run it
