IIS - Sample ISAPI Filter doing Redirection to another website

I know I'm in a very old world of writing ISAPI Filters to do the redirection instead of just creating an IHttpModule and plug it directly in the IIS7 request pipeline. But, one of my customer wanted this ISAPI filter and I made a fairly simple ISAPI Filter to do the redirection. Below sample doesn't do any checks, or maintains any lists of mapped URLs, but just a simple redirection of all the requests to http://www.live.com . Feel free to modify it accommodating your need. Code Snippet #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <afx.h> #include <afxisapi.h> BOOL WINAPI __stdcall GetFilterVersion(HTTP_FILTER_VERSION *pVer) { pVer->dwFlags = (SF_NOTIFY_PREPROC_HEADERS ); CFile myFile( "C:\\ISAPILOG\\URLs.html" , CFile::modeCreate); myFile.Close(); pVer->dwFilterVersion = HTTP_FILTER_REVISION; strcpy(pVer->lpszFilterDesc, "Sample Redirection ISAPI" ); return TRUE; } DWORD WINAPI __stdcall HttpFilterProc(HTTP_FILTER_CONTEXT...

10 reasons why server development is better with IIS7

As you already know (if you don’t, go read about it right now ), IIS7 core server has been completely re-engineered to provide a brand new extensibility model on top of which all of the server features are built. This allows anyone to remove/replace all existing server features, or add new ones - by using either the new native APIs, or the managed ASP.NET APIs. Over the past two years, we did a bunch of work to make sure the new native APIs are easy to use and help write more robust server code. But, it is hard to appreciate all the benefits until you actually compare writing an IIS7 module with writing an IIS6 ISAPI Extension – I am often amazed at how nice some of the little improvements can make your life.
