Response caching in IIS7
Nov 16th
IIS caches everything it can to save CPU cycles wherever possible. IIS6 had user-mode file cache, token cache, URI cache, metadata cache and kernel-mode http.sys response cache. These caches are mostly unchanged in IIS 7.0 other than following changes I can think of.
Feature delegation of custom module in UI
Nov 13th
I was at TechEd developers last week and one question that came up was what it takes for custom modules to show up in "Features Delegation" UI. I had image copyright walkthrough setup on the machine and in spite of having the custom schema xml and <section> entry in applicationHost.config, imageCopyright was not shown in "Features Delegation" UI. I did some more investigations on it and following is what it takes for UI to offer delegation to a custom module.
