Scott Guthrie - Talking ASP.NET and IIS 7.0

Scott Guthrie is the Product Unit Manager in charge of the Web platform and tools team. That's the team that includes ASP.NET and Internet Information Server. Basically if you run a Web site that runs on Microsoft technology you're probably using the stuff that Scott's teams develop.

They are in the middle of working on the next version of IIS (7.0) and ASP.NET so we thought we'd drop in for a chat. First half of the chat is here. Second half will come next week.

So basically you are writing another version of Apache server? Text based configuration and more fine grained control both with the configuration and models. Maybe it would be cheaper to just use Apache.

Actually you'll find there are a lot more feature than Apache, and several scenarios that are not possible today with Apache.  A few specific web-server benefits that IIS7 will have over Apache 2.x:

1) Richer process isolation management and control
2) Richer command-line scripting and admin model
3) Rich admin tool (Apache has none)
4) Richer real-time diagnostics and tracing support
5) Multi-protocol activation (to enable web-service scenarios like queing)
6) Better performance

ASP.NET obviously provides some benefits as well -- the list above just compares the web-server pieces.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Drew,
I guess the main issue is loading up 5 or 6 of the same quick starts and getting the connection limit error and about the only way to clear it out is to restart the service.

Douglas,

this is because you have "keep-alive" enabled on the server. As you make connection IE keeps them open and you run in this problem. To be able to develop on XP pro without any issue, just turn off keep-alive in IIS and you'll never (whithin reason) have to restart the service or even run into the limit as a single user on a developpement box.
