I need to be able to redirect web requests from certain parties to specific
content. In the old days I would have used ISAPI to do this. Now days I am
wondering if I should be doing this using HTTP Modules & Handlers or ISAPI.
All the machines are running IIS6 and have the .NET framework installed. In
the end I would like to code in C# but am concerned about the performance
cost of using HTTP Modules & Handlers over that of just using ISAPI. On
thing I thought of was using ISAPI and then just called code I have written
in C#, but then I have the performance hit of marshalling.
Would you please share your thoughts here? What is the best and fastest way
to do this (in any language)? What is the best and fastest way to do this
using C#, and how bad will the performance hit I take be? Any suggestions,
articles, links, samples, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I think HTTP handlers are the managed way to go. They of course will be
little bit slower than properly designed ISAPI, but since they are compiled
into managed code, I don't think there will be performance penalty.

PCC,
If you want the ultimate in performance, then you will probably want to
use an ISAPI dll. While I won't comment on whether or not C++ is faster
than C# (that's for another time), you will not have the overhead of the
marshaling of information from the managed to the unmanaged world.
However, I would generally consider this to be an acceptable hit in
order to take advantage of the framework. I would use HTTP Handlers and
Modules (you would use a handler for what you are doing).
Hope this helps.

Thanks you guys. I feel better knowing that others think I should use C#
and the framework. I was terrified that people in my shop would be shocked
that I had not used ISAPI. Thanks again.
PS - Nicholas Paldino, I swear you have answered at least fifty of my posts
over the years. Thank you for your contribution.

I have an environment with many thousands of client machines uploading
data files several times each day to a web server via HTTP PUT.
To avoid disk I/O (for performance), I am implementing a HTTP handler

cannot detect PUT requests with my handler (don't know if this is even
supported), so I'm redirecting all requests to the handler as POST
using an ISAPI filter.

I had a person tell me the other day that a person would not be able to beat
the efficiency of an ISAPI dll, especially by using handlers/modules. Of
course, they could only say the reason was that it is written in C++, which
should have nothing to do with it.
But, in general, can you write a handler that will handle just as many
connections as an ISAPI dll? Isn't a handler a managed code answer to the
ISAPI dll solution?
Thanks.

If I were writing an HTTP module where I wanted to access the response text

We would like to upgrade our servers to PHP 5 and PHP 4

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any way to log the HTTP traffic on an IIS server

I know I could write my own isapi dll or .net filter, but I was rather
hoping someone else has already done it. I'm sure it's quite a common
