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

Free ISAPI Tools by dataweb
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).
