Thanks, Jason! I've incorporated your change at the permanent home of asp_gateway: http://projects.amor.org/misc/browser/asp_gateway.py

I'm revisiting using this for running cherrypy behind IIS. It's mostly working at this point, after running into a swath of small problems. The last problem I encountered is that in CherryPy, it expects the result of a cgiFieldStorage read to return a string (or at least an object with a .strip method). The object returned at line 43, however, returns a buffer object which does not meet this interface.

This causes an error 'buffer object has no attribute strip' in cgi.py when a POST request is sent through CherryPy.

I corrected the problem with a quick fix by explicitly transforming the result to a string:

def read(self, size=-1):
if size < 0:
size = self.remainder
content, size = self.stream(size)
self.remainder -= size
return str( content )

Sean,

global.asa finds "mcontrol" in the same manner that any other Python script finds a module. In my particular case, I have a package named "mcontrol" in my site-packages directory; "mcontrol" is the name of my cherrypy application, and it contains a module named "chpy" which initializes the CherryPy config and server.

How does global.asa find mcontrol? Where does the cherrypy app live?

Yes, isapi_wsgi doesn't have thread support yet. Have been working on the next release to use IO Completion ports but have a few problems to sort out. Also a lack of spare time is slowing down development :-)

Hi, Andy! I've been reading your blog for quite a while.

As I mentioned earlier, I don't think Mark's ISAPI is ready for my needs yet (no threads yet). The non-WSGI ISAPI that Phil Frantz put into pywin32 (build 203+) seems a bit further along right now--could be helpful to finish Mark's.

Of course, the ASP wrapper (above) doesn't really have anything to do with any ISAPI implementation, except that they compete in roughly the same space.

I'm not up on the technicalities, but does this module work with Mark Ree's ISAPI-WSGI toolkit?
