ISAPI
Last update: 11/16/01
Microsoft's ISAPI interface has become a standard for powerful CGI
applications. dataWeb is working with this API for years and has gathered
a lot of experience in this time. We want to share this knowledge with
you. On this page you find links and downloads for everybody who is
writing or working with ISAPI applications.

| ISAPI Manager |
There is a problem when developing and using
ISAPI Extensions for MS IIS coming from the fact, that there is no
IIS command to unload a single loaded extension. This way each time
you have to exchange your extension for reasons of bug fixing or
enhancing you will have to down the server und then to restart.
While this might be no problem in an intranet where you can access
the server directly it is very combersum if you are not the network
manager or if your server is at your provider.
ISAPI Manager is
an ISAPI DLL, that enables you to manage your own ISAPI library
remotely. ISAPI manager is loaded before your ISAPI DLL and such
allows loading and unloading of your DLL over the web. The functions
are password protected. ISAPI Manager is freeware but you may not
delete or modify the copyright (english).

| Local ISA Client |
With Local ISA Client you don't need an Internet
Server to execute your ISAPI DLL locally. Local ISA Client is a web
browser with integrated ISAPI interface and opens completly new
possibilities for your ISAPI extension. It is not only a gread
testing tool, it also makes your ISAPI DLL a complete application if
distributed with Local ISA Client. Local ISA Client is freeware but
you may not delete the info window, the copyright and the dataWeb
domain address (english).
