[C#] Basic HTTP Web Server

[Chad]

I remember trying to create my own Apache, PHP, MySQL Server with C# a couple years ago, however I never kept on the project for long. I don't remember where this code comes from but I had saved it just in case. Its a basic HTTP Server in C#. Works kinda like wamp or xampp minus the apache, mysql, and php aspects. Maybe you could find a way to add those in? This project could have a lot of potential. I'll definitely have to look into it more when I have time.

I don't take credit for this code.

{
    HttpListener _listener;
    string _baseFolder;
    private System.Threading.AutoResetEvent resetEvent = new System.Threading.AutoResetEvent(false);
    private bool running = true;
 
    public WebServer(string uriPrefix, string baseFolder)
    {
        System.Threading.ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads(50, 1000);
        System.Threading.ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(50, 50);
        _listener = new HttpListener();
        _listener.Prefixes.Add(uriPrefix);
        _baseFolder = baseFolder;
    }
 
    public void Start()
    {
 
        new System.Threading.Thread(() =>
        {
 
            _listener.Start();
 
            while (running)
            {
 
                _listener.BeginGetContext(asyncResult =>
                {
 
                    resetEvent.Set();
 
                    try
