I have some configuration files with a specific extension (.cfg). I want scripts to be able to read these but not have this served publicly over the web. Is it possible to lock out certain extensions. I'd like to keep these in a folder above the web document root, if possible. Jeff >> Stay informed about: not serving certain extensions

I'm writing a small program to monitor IIS ... does anyone know of a way
to intentionally crash it?

Well, I'm wrinting a small VBS prog that uses msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP to watch a URL on IIS... I guess both of those examples will work doug wrote: > Crash it or hang it? > > crash: net stop w3svc > hang: > <% > > Do While 1 = 1 > Response.Write "Hang Me" > Loop > > %> > > doug > >>-----Original Message----- >>I'm writing a small program to monitor IIS ... does > > anyone know of a way > >>to intentionally crash it? >>. >><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: not serving certain extensions

If you do not want files to be served over the web, make sure that the configuration files are not in the URL namespace, and IIS won't let it download. However, scripts in the URL namespace now must intentionally reach outside the namespace to access the configuration files. Depending on your isolation constraints, this may/not be acceptable tradeoff. You can also map a non-existent Scriptmap engine DLL to .cfg such that IIS fail to serve the contents of the file when requested, and you can put the ..cfg files in the URL namespace such that other scripts in the URL namespace can access them without violating isolation constraints. -- //David IIS This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. // "Jeff Thies" <nospam.TakeThisOut@nospam.net> wrote in message news:%2327ozq8TEHA.704@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl...
