In my research, I found 2 ways to do them. Both required modifications to the Application_BeginRequest procedure in the Global.Asax, where you would run your code to do the actual URL mapping (mine was with a database view that contained all the friendly URLs and their mapped 'real' URLs). Now the trick is to get your requests run throu...
I need to write a program that read the .eml files from IIS's mail drop box, but I can't find a definitive source that tells me the encoding of the .eml files. Is there a specification somewhere that tells me the encoding of the files, or do I just have to guess/assume one? ...
Hello, We have a web application that needs to process a large amount of data and push messages to a series of MSMQueues. This operation is likely to take upwards of 10 minutes but we want a response back (consisting of an ID) quickly. Therefore, we have implemented a system that generates the ID and starts the push process on a separ...
An architect at my work recently read Yahoo!'s Exceptional Performance Best Practices guide where it says to use a far-future Expires header for resources used by a page such as JavaScript, CSS, and images. The idea is you set a Expires header for these resources years into the future so they're always cached by the browser, and whenever...
I am trying to set up an SMTP server on a virtual private server. I have typically hosted applications with hosting companies in the past. I am using SMPT on a website to send mail but need to configure IIS's SMTP Server to allow me to send the mail.

Hey Any ideas why MS in their infinite wisdom makes IIS 6 restart the W3C Service when I create an application/or virtual directory and then change the runtime version? Thanks Mark ...
Whenever I do a postback to "/", I get a 405 error. However, when I post back to "Default.aspx", things work fine. As I am somewhat new to web devleopment, I haven't the foggiest idea on how to debug this. The issue driving me particularly nuts because I'm testing submitting a form on the front page of the site I'm working on. Some e...
In my application I save some data related to the users sessions in the database. When the user logoff I cleanup all his session data from the database. So far, so good. But, when IIS is restarted, all the active sessions are invalidated without the chance to gracefully cleanup. So, I need to identify when IIS is restarted to solve thi...

However, when the CDN makes the initial request for the content, it is not being returned compressed. They therefore don't have compressed content to forward to people r...

Hi all, I have a server that is going buggy, so we built a new server to replace it. Now I am tasked with moving all of the sites in iis to the new server. I thought there was a way to export all the settings and I tried using the export and import option - but the sites do not exist on the new server - I assume I am using the comman...
Hey all. Right, my problem is that I need to replace an image that appears on every page of a site, which is fine, the problem is I want every user to see the new image and not a cached version of the old one. This is made especially difficult because I can’t make any code changes (far too many places to do it for it to be viable) so I...

This may seem like a silly question, but we are having an issue debugging IIS in a shared test environment and I'm hoping that someone out there can give us an answer. We have a Windows Server 2003 that is running IIS 6 and sharepoint 2007. We are debugging locally on the server with visual studio 2008. When someone attaches the debug...

When I access a report through Report Manager on the same server or ReportViewer on a different IIS server I can not print. I get the "unable to load client print control". This occurs with IE...
