It provides support for ISAPI Extensions when + running under Microsoft Windows. Any document with a handler of + <code>isapi-isa</code> will be processed by this module. + +<h2>Purpose</h2> + +<p>This module implements the <a + href="http://www.microsoft.com/win32dev/apiext/isapimrg.htm">ISAPI + Extension</a> API. It allows Internet Server Applications (i.e., ISAPI + Extensions) to be used with Apache for Windows. + +<h2>Usage</h2> + +<p>In the server configuration file, add a handler called + <code>isapi-isa</code>, and map it to files with a <code>.DLL</code> + extension. In other words:</p> +<pre> + AddHandler isapi-isa dll +</pre> +<p>Now simply place the ISA DLLs into your document root, and they will + be loaded when their URLs are accessed.</p> + +<p>ISAPI Extensions are governed by the same restrictions as CGI + scripts. That is, <code>Options ExecCGI</code> must be active in the + directory that contains the ISA.</p> + +<h2>Notes</h2> + +<p>Apache's ISAPI implementation conforms to all of the ISAPI 2.0 + specification, except for the "Microsoft-specific" extensions dealing + with ascynchronous I/O. Apache's I/O model does not allow asynchronous + reading and writing in a manner that the ISAPI could access. If an ISA + tries to access async I/O, a message will be place in the error log, + to help with debugging. + +<p>Some servers, like Microsoft IIS, load the ISA into the server, and + keep it loaded until memory usage is too high, and it is + unloaded. Apache currently loads and unloads the ISA for each + request. This is inefficient, but Apache's request model makes this + method the only method that currently works. A future release may use + a more effective loading method. + +<p>Apache 1.3a1 currently limits POST and PUT input to 48k per + request. This is to work around a problem with the ISAPI implementation + that could result in a denial of service attack. It is expected that + support for larger uploads will be added soon. + +<p>Also, remember that while Apache supports ISAPI Extensions, it does + not support ISAPI Filters. Support for filters may be added at a later + date, but no support is planned at this time.</p> + +<!--#include virtual="footer.html" --> +</BODY> +</HTML> |
