DEVELOPERS HTTP.SYS, WHATS THAT? Its the thing that listens to HTTP
on your computer Its a kernel mode device driver Ever since Windows
Server 2003 (IIS 6) Responsible for: Routing requests to registered
applications Kernel-mode SSL (as of Windows Server 2008) Response
caching in kernel mode QoS, such as connection limits and timeouts

processes Each application is hosted in a .NET AppDomain App pool
defines: .NET version Bitness (32/64) Security identity Advanced

www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS COMPRESS ME! 13
Compression Mode What does it do Considerations Dynamic Compress
every response Uses CPU and memory Not cached Static Compress once
and reuse Cached to disk Uses some CPU So turn it on, is that it?
Almost! 14. www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS ASP.NET IIS
OUTPUT CACHE ASP.NET has one, IIS wanted one too Not only for
ASP.NET content Supports varying by query/header User/Kernel mode
caching Output can be statically compressed 14 15.
www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS REWRITING URLS Great tool
for manipulating URLs Can change incoming and outgoing URLs URL
transformation, redirection, or forwarding Uses regular expressions
and wildcards for pattern matching Pre-conditions based on HTTP
headers, URL parts, and server variables And it has a UI !!!!! 15
16. www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS COMMON REWRITING
SCENARIOS Enforce lower-cased URLs Add/remove trailing slash
Canonical hostnames Prevent hotlinking Friendly URLs HTTPS
redirection Reverse proxy 16 17. www.devconnections.com IIS FOR
DEVELOPERS APPLICATION INITIALIZATION Initial load of an
application takes time Dynamic compilation Assembly loading Execute
Application_Start event Application initialization to the rescue
Start your application after the worker process loads Internally
call code to initialize the system 17 18. www.devconnections.com
IIS FOR DEVELOPERS CONFIGURE INITIALIZATION 18 Application Pool Web
Application Web.config 19. www.devconnections.com IIS FOR
DEVELOPERS COOL FEATURES OF INITIALIZATION Remaps requests while
initializing Overlapped recycling completes after initialization is
done Granular control over remaps with URL Rewrite {APP_WARMING_UP}

www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS LOGGING &
TROUBLESHOOTING 21 22. www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS
LOGGING IIS logging is not enough! Use the Advanced Logging module
http://bit.ly/iis-advanced-logging Creates a separate log file per
application Log HTTP headers, performance counters, and server
variables Filter requests you don't want to log Creates the same
IIS Log file structure Use your existing analysis tools 22 ADVANCED
LOGGING 23. www.devconnections.com IIS FOR DEVELOPERS FAILED
REQUEST TRACING Investigate failed requests What is a bad request?
Resulted in a 4xx or 5xx response Took too long to process Caused a
warning or error trace message You can set different traces for
different URLs Creating too many request tracing files has its
costs, beware of overuse Investigate bad requests 24.
