I don't believe that you need to have IIS enabled to access from an external IP address. Variants on this discussion have come up quite a bit. As 000golabi mentions earlier in this thread, the main purpose of this library is for connecting to and consuming RESTful services.
For the http_listener on Windows, we build directly on top of the Windows HTTP Server API. So for listening to external requests you will have to follow the same rules. Specifically you need administrative privileges or have to have an admin make a reservation on a portion of the desired URI. See the HTTP Server API for more documentation.
