The Microsoft webserver, IIS, is finally implementing FastCGI for versions 5.1, 6, and 7. Zend (the PHP people) are working with MS to get PHP supported, and PHP5 is supported in the technical preview release out now: http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=1000051
Would it be possible for someone on the core team to contact Mike Volodarsky: http://mvolo.com/2006/11/17/while-you-were-out-.aspx?results=1 to discuss getting this working on RoR. Mike has already said getting RoR compatibility is one of his goals: http://forums.iis.net/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=1448886&PermaPostID=1449597#1449597 But it doesn't seem to be working at the moment with Ruby: http://forums.iis.net/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=1448886&PermaPostID=1449312#1449312 If RoR could run as easily on IIS servers as it does on mongrel and webrick, or even apache and lighttpd, then it would be a huge boon to the community. I don't know enough about ruby or Windows to be of any help personally <newb> but I am hoping someone out there does! Primary benefit to me (and many others on blogs/forums I've read) of getting RoR on IIS: Single Sign On through Active Directory or NTLM. If a user has logged into their Windows machine, then they are automatically logged into internal company webapps, bypassing the login screen. This is a requirement in the design spec of the apps I am building.
