We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
Document footers do not work with ASP files.



CAUSE
This occurs because ASP files (and other ISAPI applications) feed their responses to the client directly and have control of keeping the connection open or closing it.

Because IIS cannot determine when ASP (or ISAPI applications for that matter) has completed its request, it cannot determine when to send the footer, or even if it has a connection to send it on.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use .htm or .html files instead of ASP files, or add server-side include (SSI) directives to the ASP files to specify the footer file.



MORE INFORMATION
For information on using SSI tags, see the "Using Server-Side Include Directives" topic in the product documentation.
