ATL server response files and Apache

Here is a great article from Visual C++ Developers Journal on ATL Server that should clear things up for you.

Well that did clarify a few things but I still have the problem. The problem is probably from my limited knowledge of the apache server. I only installed the thing yesterday and am quite clueless. I just don't know how to get Apache to use the ISAPI extension dll.

You're not really trying to be helpful. I started in the Apache forum and moved here. I know how to get the server to use regular html documents but I am still not sure if what I am trying to do is even possible. That is my origninal question. For someone in the Apache forum to answer my question they would need to know what an ISAPI extension is and that doesn't sound like a resonable assumption.
>> You're not really trying to be helpful.
Now on what are you basing that? If you want to have an argument where i try to prove to you that i am trying to be helpful we can. Otherwise, back off the attitude.

Your correct, you should know since it’s your question. That way you can phrase the question in the Apache forum so that they will understand what you are asking.
<excerpt of an article on codeguru.com>
Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI), is an API developed to provide the application developers with a powerful way to extend the functionality of Internet Information Server (IIS). Although ISAPI extensions by no means are limited to IIS, they are extensively used in conjunction with MS-IIS.

If your running Apache on Unix as you stated your not going to since it is a windows PE file.
Now here is my limited knowledge of Apache. It’s an Open Source product and as such the standard means of extending it’s functionality is to write new code and build the project. Now has a similar feature been added where you can extend the process with DLL’s and data configuration? I don’t know. The Apache forum likely will.
If Apache does not support the ISAPI paradigm then you could still use the classical Open Source development method and build the extension directly into your server. Then you can have Apache parse SRF files to your hearts content.
Now with all that said, I recommend you use Tomcat under Apache and build your web applications using JSP and/or Servlets. Much simpler especially under Unix.

Sorry if it sounded like I had an attitude, frankly I'm embarresed at that. Anyway the "If your running Apache on Unix as you stated your not going to since it is a windows PE file." is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for so thanks.
