I've tested this release on my server (W2K3, Apache 2.0.51, .NET Framework 1.1 SP1), must say, +1 for this release, no strange things when testing 3 asp.net websites (one of which uses .NET remoting to access the backend).

I have one question: can the installer also install a aspnet.default.conf in the Apache folder? This would be handy for people who want this great component up and running quickly.

I had to change the line:

AliasMatch "^/(?i)aspnet_client/system_web/(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)/(.*)" \
"C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v$1.$2.$3/ASP.NETClientFiles/$5"


to

AliasMatch "^/(?i)aspnet_client/system_web/(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)/(.*)" \
"C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v$1.$2.$3/ASP.NETClientFiles/$4"


to be able to access the .js files of ASP.NET.

Besides the conf file it would be handy to have a post-installation readme.txt file how to change the httpd.conf. This essentially means adding these two parts:

LoadModule aspdotnet_module modules/mod_aspdotnet.so

and something like

<IfModule mod_aspnet.c>
   Include conf/aspnet.default.conf
</IfModule>

(I know that 'mod_aspnet.c' isn't correct, what should this be?)

These ideas are only to get a nice release of httpd-cli that also non-dev people as administrators can use easily :)

Besides this 2.0 release: I'm very curious how far optimization could enhance the performance of ASP.NET on Apache to match (or even beat?) IIS6. I'll have look at this as soon as my schedule cleans up a bit :) (Maybe the use of fibers? Or creating caching/pooling for certain objects like AppDomains, WorkerRequests ?)

Subject: mod_aspdotnet release candidate, please vote
Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2004 20:03:20 -0500

RC1 available for testing, from http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/
Please download and vote for or against 2.0.0 release (feedback
from all cli-dev or httpd subscribers are welcome, regardless of
committer status.)  Please avoid wasting [EMAIL PROTECTED] bandwidth and
reply specifically to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The initial web page, with warning that it is in incubation still,
is at http://httpd.apache.org/cli/.  Upon a vote to release this code,
I will call for a vote from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to graduate the
subproject, and a vote from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to accept it back.

A short history is available in
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/httpd/cli/trunk/mod_aspdotnet/CHANGES.txt?rev=56059&view=markup

and already demonstrates a community of technical folks submitting
patches, which I hope continues.  My only concern is to identify folks
specifically interested in working with a cli-users list and developing
docs based on actual testing and use cases.

Bill
