Extensions

IIS releases new feature modules between major version releases to add new functionality. The following extensions are available for IIS 7.5:

  • FTP Publishing Service – Lets Web content creators publish content securely to IIS 7 Web servers with SSL-based authentication and data transfer.
  • Administration Pack – Adds administration UI support for management features in IIS 7, including ASP.NET authorization, custom errors, FastCGI configuration, and request filtering.
  • Application Request Routing – Provides a proxy-based routing module that forwards HTTP requests to content servers based on HTTP headers, server variables, and load balance algorithms.
  • Database Manager – Allows easy management of local and remote databases from within IIS Manager.
  • Media Services – Integrates a media delivery platform with IIS to manage and administer delivery of rich media and other Web content.
  • URL Rewrite Module – Provides a rule-based rewriting mechanism for changing request URLs before they are processed by the Web server.
  • WebDAV – Lets Web authors publish content securely to IIS 7 Web servers, and lets Web administrators and hosters manage WebDAV settings using IIS 7 management and configuration tools.
  • Web Deployment Tool – Synchronizes IIS 6.0 and IIS 7 servers, migrates an IIS 6.0 server to IIS 7, and deploys Web applications to an IIS 7 server.

Famous quotes containing the word extensions:

    “The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    “If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)
