MSDN Magazine: Extend IIS 7.0 End-to-End
In this month's launch edition of MSDN magazine, we celebrate the release of Windows Server 2008. It's been a long road and we are finally done!
Of course, this celebration wouldnt be complete without a juicy article on IIS 7.0 - this time, showing off the complete extensibility of the Web server by building a full-blown Web server feature with configuration and IIS Manager components.
The feature in question is the Response Modification Framework, a sample project I put together to show off IIS 7.0 extensibility and also provide an extensible platform for modiying IIS 7.0 responses on the fly. The RMF is a great way for app owners to touch up or inject various functionality into their applications without the need to modify the application itself. It has a number of cool uses, a few of which are shown in the article.
So, go and read about IIS 7.0's end-to-end extensibility in Build Web Server Solutions with End-To-End Extensibility.
Then, go check out the Response Modification Framework and download the sample application.
Thanks,
Mike

I drove the design and development of the IIS 7.0 web server core, the IIS FastCGI support, the AppCmd command line tool, the ASP.NET Integrated pipeline, and other special projects around server security, performance, and scalability. Now, I am working on my own on cutting edge web server tech on top of the Microsoft IIS platform, and continue blogging about it here.
