HTTPhandler as powerfull as isapi extensions?

[yachtIT]

HI MS,

I have read from official microsoft msdn that an HTTPhandler in .NET can do
anything a c++ isapi extension can do. Only a .NET HTTPhandler has a much
more easy programming model.

However I cannot find any documentation on how to receive an HTTP request (
HTTPcontext ) with an HTTPhandler and keep the connection alive.
The HTTPcontext is always closed.

Also in the MSDN library 2003 in the isapi section there is an atricle "keep
alive with worker threads" that explains how to build a c++ isapi extension
that receives the HTTP request and keeps it alive. But the sample code is no
where to be found anymore.

Please MS show me where I can find documentation on how to keep alive
connections using .NET HTTPhandlers or show me where I can find the original
c++ isapi extension sample "keep alive with worker threads" so that I can
begin using c++ on building a really powerfull isapi extension.

this is true in iis 7.0, but in ii6.0, .net handlers run the asp.net worker
process and use a named pipe to communicate the .net isapi filter.

for iis 6.0, you really need to c/c++. also look at the new HTTP api in
server 2003, this is probably want you really want to use. look in server
2003 platform sdk

Can someone provide the code example reffered to in the MSDN library 2003
atricle
"keep alive with worker threads" it explains how to create a c++ isapi
extension that keeps alive the request making use of worker threads but I
cant find the platform ( or IIS ) SDK where the source example should be.
