WMS Server - URL question on IIS

[Ed McNierney]

Tanya -

That code needs to go wherever you want the resource to live - wherever
you want the URL to point.  If you saved it in the root of your Web
directory and you named it "obfuscate.asp" then your WMS URL might be:

http://www.mymapserver.com/obfuscate.asp

As Rich pointed out, IIS is normally configured to look for a file named
default.asp in a directory, and so it will automagically open that file
if you give IIS a URL that points to a directory.  Therefore, if you
saved this ASP code in the root of your Web directory and named it
"default.asp" as he suggests, you could use either:

http://www.mymapserver.com/default.asp OR
http://www.mymapserver.com

As your online resource URL.  Assuming, of course, that you replace
www.mymapserver.com with your server's name.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WMS Server - URL question on IIS

this feels like a pretty ignorant question, but i'm not that familiar
with IIS, and i'm hoping someone can help. we have a Win2k IIS 5 box
which we have GetMap and GetCapabilities requests working on. now we're
interested in masking the URL a bit so it's a bit tidier. in the
WMS-How-To there is a ASP script provided (see below) - but where does
the script go in IIS if we want to implement this option? Any help would
be great, tanya

    strURL = "http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?
map=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WMS\mymap.map&" & strRequest
    Dim objHTTP
    Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, false
    objHTTP.send ""
    Response.ContentType = objHTTP.getResponseHeader("content-type")
    Response.BinaryWrite objHTTP.responseBody
    Set objHTTP = Nothing
