RE: force extention handling in IIS?

["Ken Schaefer" <Ken () adOpenStatic com>]

ASP files (.asp .asa etc) are handled by an ISAPI Extension, not an ISAPI
Filter, so I'm not sure what you mean by setting a filter. Certainly you
could write your own filter to look at incoming requests and rewrite them (or
similar), but that would probably be overkill (there are some 3rd party ISAPI
filters that do this)

FWIW:
PHP (.php) can be setup either as an ISAPI Extension or as CGI (check
www.visualwin.com for instructions)

Cheers
Ken
