ISAPI in Apache (Win32)

[UserLoser.]

How do I do it?  I've tried everything, I keep getting

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /isapi/MSNMessenger.dll on this server.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) Server at www.userloser.net Port 80

From what I can find... I've added
AddType application/octet-stream .dll
AddHandler isapi-isa .dll to httpd.conf

Any suggestions/comments on how I can properly get it to work?

The anonymous web access account will need read and execute permissions to the ISAPI
DLL itself.

Did you do that?

All fixed and working!!

Ah, so ISAPI in Apache works fine? That means we could switch from IIS to Apache at vl.com!

You would have to rename those something.asp pages to something.htm then it will work just fine.

Except ISAPI filters don't work

Then what works? ISAPI applications only?

Does it support asynchronous read/write? BinaryChatISAPI requires that.

Not sure

Edit: Can't find any information on it, do you have a sample ISAPI dll that I can use to test?

Why would Apache support ISAPI?  Would you need a CGI driver to emulate the ISAPI?  What programming models are supported natively by Apache other than CGI?

Writing modules is supported. The context is very similar to IIS's ISAPI. There should be lots of info on the web,  this link might provide some info.

When did IIS start supporting ISAPI? Perhaps Apache supports much more powerful customization than IIS? (since it's open source obviously yes, but I mean customization done just by writing modules for it)
