http.syswindows
I have a program that is trying to register a URL with HTTP.SYS. It is giving the error "HTTP could not register URL http://+:1234/PathName/. Another application has already registered this URL with HTTP.SYS."
How can I find out what the other application is? Is there a command line I could run that would list all the registered URLs and the process ID that has them registered?
I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.
To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.
If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.
Examples
c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\" (finds all files opened from drive e:\"c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

You can use
netsh http show servicestate, it will show you a list of Server Session with the URL they registered:Remember the "Request queue name" and scroll toward the end of the command output to find the "Request queue" with the same "Request queue name", and you'll see the PID of the controller process:
