You have my deepest sympathy. Any chance you can run Apache
2 on Windows?

Yes; there are many options and they all suck.

I moved it to: http:/
/projects.amor.org/misc/wiki/ASPGateway. I'll update
the wiki.

The other option would be to use an ISAPI for Python; there
are at least two I've run across, but I'm unsure of their
quality.

Mark Rees: http://isapi-ws

I couldn't use Mark's because it's single-threaded only.
When I last looked at Phillip's, it was single-threaded and
still in development; maybe he's polished it enough for
your needs by now.

Using https with Active Directory was my initial reason for
chosing ASP back in the day. But now that Apache 2 + mod_ssl
+ mod_auth_sspi works fine on Windows, there's no reason to
stick with IIS.
