I have used following command in Win7:

netsh http add urlacl url=[http://+:1234/] user=\Everyone

But it does not work in WinXP. So I downloaded httpcfg.exe,but cannot find appropriate syntax to convert my original command to httpcfg format

MSDN seems to have an example for this. It doesn't seem like you can just specify the user as with netsh. httpcfg takes a Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string.

Generating SDDL strings is described in another question. Basically, you can read the specification, or you can set the desired permissions on a random file on your system and then use cacls FILE_PATH /S to get the SDDL.

So after generating the SDDL, you'd probably want something like:

httpcfg set urlacl /u http://+:1234/ /a "<SDDL>"
