"Circuit breaker" for net.msmq?

Hi, The Circuit Breaker pattern, from the book Release It!, protects a service from requests while it is failing (or recovering). The net.msmq binding used with transactions give us nice retry and poison message capabilities. But I am missing the implementation of such a "Circuit breaker" pattern. A service is put under even heavier loa...

Using GIT Smart HTTP via IIS

I recently read Scott Chacon's post "Smart HTTP Transport", and I was hoping that it might have become possible via IIS (windows 7) since that post was written. I haven't been able to find anything showing how it can be done, and Apache is not an option in my IIS 7 based environment. So, I'm at a loss (git daemon was foiled for me by a c...

worker process in IIS shared hosting

Can anyone tell me, is there a way to run a process in IIS shared hosting service. Suppose, the scenario is like "I want to send emails to a list of email id's after everywhere 3 hrs", so the challenge here is the process should not be invoked by a HTTP link. It should be automatic. I think we can do this by IIS worker processes. Also...

Rewriting ASP.NET (.aspx) pages in Apache

I managed to get ASP.NET to work in Apache, as per http://weblogs.asp.net/israelio/archive/2005/09/11/424852.aspx but I'm unsure how to get it to rewrite pages, with a web.config file. I've tried using Google endlessly, but came to nothing. What's the best solution for me to rename my pages, e.g. mytestpage.aspx to mytestpage.htm Als...

IIS cannot serve pages ending with .config

This is obviously a security issue and probably do not want to change this, but it would be nice to handle the error. Any ideas? I see that stackoverflow is not immune: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/web.config They seem to have changed the tag to web-config to fix the problem but you still get a very nasty error message wh...

generating an asp.net web application dll requirement list

I'm trying to set up a web app (32bit on ii7/win7, 32bit setting is enabled, everything is compiled to x86, using vs2008), but there's clearly some dll module loading issue happening.

HTTP caching confusion

I'm not sure whether this is a server issue, or whether I'm failing to understand how HTTP caching really works. I have an ASP MVC application running on IIS7. There's a lot of static content as part of the site including lots of CSS, Javascript and image files. For these files I want the browser to cache them for at least a day - our ...

I'm kind of hoping the answer will be "No, it will only create a single Web Site, and not an FTP Site", since I'm half way through writing some WMI code to create the FTP site. ...

Creating a standalone ASP.NET MVC application for Windows XP

Is there a way to create an installable (ideally XCopy installable) version of an ASP.NET MVC application that will run in a standalone fashion on a Windows XP machine? I don't mind installing SQL Server Express for this purpose, so I guess the question boils down to this: Can the Cassini web server that comes with Visual Studio 2008 be...

Moving Wordpress from Apache to IIS

I've encountered a problem when moving a Wordpress installation from a Linux Apache server to a Windows IIS server. Nearly all pages load blank, including /wp-admin/. I created a php file in the main directory to check phpinfo, and it loads fine. I've copied the file system over, as well as the database. I've also updated the wp-config....

IE Mixed Content Warining when using https URLs and http:443 URLs?

I'm getting the good ole' "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items." dialog in IE when connecting to an HTTPS site. No big deal...

Is the IIsFtpService WMI class supported for IIS7 compatibility mode?

I heard a rumour that the IIsFtpService WMI class is not supported when using IIS7 (with IIS6 WMI compatability). However, I cannot find this on Microsoft's website.
