This means a client browser "polls" for new info and the server does not respond until there is info to send back, so the HTTP connection is left open for a long time, up to a minute. My question is how many of these connections the server can handle ope...

I'm looking to port over an Apache module to IIS 6.0 that does some custom encryption on data that is being sent to the client. A TechNet document that deals with configuring IIS 6.0 suggests that this can be done with ISAPI: For example, a filter could be notified when a Read or Write event occurs and then encrypt the raw data ...
Hi there, I'm currently moving a website to a new server, whilst doing so i've noticed the option to set com+ application components running when idle. This option is currently set to true on all components, but it sounds to me like there would be some sort of trade off (page load time vs strain on server). Does anybody know what the ...

From the time the page is requested, to the time it has been sent out, how long was it? Is there anything in IIS which can give me this informat...
I'm working with a client's proprietary ASP.NET app, to which we added a PHP wiki to a subdirectory on the same server. The PHP app authenticates against the cookies that the .NET app uses. This all works fine. When you login to the .NET app and then visit the PHP app (Dokuwiki), and then visit any page on the .NET app, it reports that...
In ASP.NET there is the Application_EndRequest event in global.asax. In classic ASP however there is no such equivalent event in global.asa Is there any other built in way of handling the end request event, or any way of somehow hooking into IIS to accomplish the same thing? Thanks ...
I'm trying to serve up Excel documents that I have stored in a database via a WCF RSS feed (the user clicks a link in the feed and it sends down a specific Excel document). The Excel files aren't sitting in a directory any where (in which case I could just give each user a static URL). So what I'd like to do is have a dynamically ge...
So I got this Windows 2003 dedicated virtual server from GoDaddy for a client's sites. I'm troubleshooting a problem that requires looking at IIS log files going back two weeks. Unfortunately, when I looked into c:\windows\system32\logfiles\W3SVC[site #], I only found log files for the past five days. When I checked the following day,...
I'm trying to host a WCF service in IIS7 that works with both Silverlight and for GET requests.

I have a second service that is for GET requests only and it works fine so my...
I am using Vista, but most of the other developers working on the same projects as me are still using XP. Some of our projects have wildcard script mappings for handling vanity URLs, so each time I work on those sites, my IIS 7 adds a system.webServer/handlers section to the web.config file and when one of the other developers do an upda...
