You can use ISAPI available with Internet Information Server for NT from Microsoft. It provides extensibility to the server, avoiding need for CGI (which is slow). For more details on ISAPI (Internet Server API), look at http://www.microsoft.com/inetdev [ Part 16: "Attached Text" ] If performance is an issue, binding C code directly into the server is a major win over cgi. Spyglass has a toolkit to do this for $75000. Netscape has a set of api's that come with any server. Cern, of course, comes with source code, although it's _highly_ inscrutable. I dont know about the use of visual basic, though. If you can make a dll with it, it should be doable. > From: "Gregory J. Woodhouse" <gjw@best.com> I'm looking for information on the performance of CGI under Windows NT. I am interested in hearing how different web servers compare with one another, and how different scripting languages compare. I am especially interested, though, in the use Visual Basic 4.0 (other versions?) I recognize that different applications can place demands in different areas (e.g., string processing and database access). If anyone can point me to general advice on performance tuning an NT server, that will also be most welcome. --- Luke Gonze --- luke@applix.com --- --- Software Engineer, Applix Espresso project ---
