Scripting: Win2003 IIS and SSI

Ever since upgrading to the new web server the page survey has not been functional. Upon further inspection it appears that a script accessed via SSI #exec in Win2003 has a number of problems when compared to Win2K:

• no access to the originating page's query string
• SCRIPT_NAME returns asp page rather than originating page

The former problem causes a page to not know that the survey has been submitted.

The latter problem causes a page to never display the survey in the first place (surveypage.asp is on the list of pages that are to not have the survey shown).

So far I have been unable to find much useful information regarding SSI in Win2003. SSI doesn't seem to get much attention these days beyond the basic how-to. I've posted a question to one of the Microsoft newsgroups, hopefully I'll get a useful answer.

See my post for more info: SSI #exec and querystring passthrough

Update 2005-11-28:
Of the two options I noted in my post linked above I've decided that the quickest method of addressing this problem is to associate the HTML files with the ASP processor. I'll test on the development server for the next week then implement on the live server.

Update 2005-12-05:
A response to my newsgroup posting confirms that there was a change in the way #exec operates. I've seen no major problems using the ASP processor on the development server so I've gone ahead and implemented it on the production server.
