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).
