        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var appHost = new AppListenerHost(AppName))
            {
                appHost.Init();
                appHost.Start(ListeningOn);

                Console.WriteLine("Started listening on: " + ListeningOn);
                Console.WriteLine("AppHost Created at {0}, listening on {1}", DateTime.Now, ListeningOn);

                Thread.Sleep(System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
            }

            System.Console.WriteLine("ReadLine()");
            System.Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

OK, think I did get the 300 thing wrong - but would be good to know how to do.

Realise the above example is XML based, HEADER-version most likely something like;

Link: </movie/title>; rel="http://localhost:83/rels/movie/title"
Link: </movie/actor>; rel="http://localhost:83/rels/movie/actor"

In which case you can just return a custom contentType, headers and body, e.g:

new HttpResult { 
    ContentType = "application/xml",
    Headers = {
        {"Link","</movie/title>; rel=\"http://localhost:83/rels/movie/title\""},
        {"Link","</movie/actor>; rel=\"http://localhost:83/rels/movie/actor\""},
    },
    ResponseText = "<link rel=...",      //If you also want to return it in the body.
};

Thanks Demis, been tied up but will follow this up tomorrow.
