- In this directory you will find examples of ISAPI filters and extensions.
- The filter loading mechanism works like this:
- * IIS loads the special Python "loader" DLL. This DLL will generally have a
- leading underscore as part of its name.
- * This loader DLL looks for a Python module, by removing the first letter of
- the DLL base name.
-
- This means that an ISAPI extension module consists of 2 key files - the loader
- DLL (eg, "_MyIISModule.dll", and a Python module (which for this example
- would be "MyIISModule.py")
- When you install an ISAPI extension, the installation code checks to see if
- there is a loader DLL for your implementation file - if one does not exist,
- or the standard loader is different, it is copied and renamed accordingly.
- We use this mechanism to provide the maximum separation between different
- Python extensions installed on the same server - otherwise filter order and
- other tricky IIS semantics would need to be replicated. Also, each filter
- gets its own thread-pool, etc.
