Alternatives to aspnet_isapi.dll?

[Dave]

If I want to process a particular file before being served up in IIS6,
is there any alternative to aspnet_isapi.dll?

Cheers

sure. you can supply your own iaspi filter. just put it upsteam from the
aspnet filter, or remap.

You'd need to write an ISAPI application which intercepts and processes
the incoming packets in whichever way you want to process them,
and passes the result of your processing to aspnet_isapi.dll.

What is your objective ?

Can you explain a bit more what you want to do ?
What type of processing to you want to perform on web requests?

You can process a file before it is served without having to use an
alternative to the ASP.NET Isapi dll. You can use UrlRewriting in combination
with an HttpHandler that "Loads" the requested file, does whatever you want
to do to it, and then sends it on it's merry way. What's the specific goal
here?

Maybe if you explain further we could try to figure out an easier
solution than writing your own ISAPI filter...?
Have you checked the IHttpModule and IHttpHandler interfaces...??

Google for them...

If you're trying to do what I THINK you are you could probably also
get away with:
UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll

MIT like license...
Google for it!

I'm trying to place authentication around mp3 files before they are
streamed. However, I must support partical content (206). I have
looked at httpModules & handlers and, as yet, haven't managed to get
them to respond to range requests in the requesting headers, e.g.
range: bytes=235520-

Has anyone attempted this?
