Recently I did hosting of a website on IIS 6 on Windows XP Professional SP2. The website is applied with Basic Authentication and Windows Integrated Authentication. Strangely the Integrated Authentication does not work, but the same website on Windows 2003 Server SP2 works fine. When attempted to browse the website, it does ask for username and password; but does not login and shows the error HTTP 401.1 – Unauthorized: Logon Failed.

Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) files are based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) syntax, and are made up of various elements with their associated tags and attributes. This is designed to store a list of Windows Media files (.WMA, .ASF, .WMV) to play during a multimedia presentation. The ASX files can be effectively used to play songs over the Internet/Intranet through HTTP protocol.

Considering an example web application where the application allows uploading files with extension DOC, RTF, XLS, PPT, GIF, JPEG, PDF and MSG. The view page has the list of attachments and allows viewing files by invoking relevant applications. But files with .MSG do not open or do not invoke Outlook to view it.

We have created a Indexing Catalog in Microsoft’s Indexing Service and have included the folders to be indexed. We did a merge and the restarted the Indexing Service to enable the catalog. A server side script written in ASP and/or ASP.Net is written to perform search and display the results. We are able to see results with file extensions HTML, HTM, ASP, ASPX, DOC, XLS, and PPT. There are many PDF files in the website and we are not able to see any results from PDF files.

The code is simple and straight. The code builds HTML email and uses CDOSYS object to send the email to recipients. Logic is simple, build an HTML mailer string in a VBScript variable myMailBody. Assign the variable myMailBody to the HTML Body of the email using CDOSYS object and send the mailer to recipients. But the problem starts here… When the recipient views the mailer, S/He can see an ! symbol in-between the mailer content.

To help minimize the attack surface of the server, IIS 6.0 is not installed on Windows Server 2003 by default. When you first install IIS 6.0, it is locked down — which means that only request handling for static Web pages is enabled, and only the World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW service) is installed. None of the features that sit on top of IIS are turned on, including ASP, ASP.NET, CGI scripting, FrontPage® 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft, and WebDAV publishing.

Application Pool is a new feature introduced in IIS 6. An Application Pool can contain one or more applications and allows us to configure a level of isolation between different Web applications. If you want to isolate all the Web applications running in the same computer, you can do this by creating a separate application pool for every Web application and placing them in their corresponding application pool. Because each application pool runs in its own worker process, errors in one application pool will not affect the applications running in other application pools.

The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property specifies the maximum number of bytes allowed in the entity body of an ASP request. If a Content-Length header is present and specifies an amount of data greater than the value of AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed, IIS returns a 403 error response. This property is related in function to MaxRequestEntityAllowed, but is specific to ASP request. The default value of this property in IIS6 is 200 KB.

The website uses all GIF and JPG format images; but in IE when the same image file saved, saves the image file in .BMP format. IE File Save As saves for all image files in .BMP format
