More background Information:
The Http.sys is responsible for getting http request and send responses back to users.
Http.sys -----> Listen --> Queues -->(Isolation mode send to worker process) --> Responses
Worker Process -> A processes that runs in user mode to process a request from the Http.sys queue. The worker process runs in it's own process space so it want interfere with other http processes that are on a different process. After the worker process processes the request it use Http.sys to send it response back.
