Re: Status of a stable ISAPI??

I am currently working in my spare time on a way to provide a stable platform on windows. I don't have much to comment on it yet, but it looks promising so far.

If you are going to offer anyone money to speed up this process, you could try the guys at Active State, specifically Shane Caraveo, since he told me a goal of his is specifically to stabliize ISAPI on windows. I believe Shane is on this mailing list..I'm surprised he hasn't answered the postline yet. Maybe he will?

I sent one, and a sales person sent me back a form note to look at their support options and they wouldn't have any problem. I sent him back an email that the problem I was having was mostly related to the stability of the ISAPI module as opposed to the OCI8 extension (my guess, 80% 20%, respectively); and, that he'd better check with their programmers before assuring me that a $180 support request would cover fixing the entire ISAPI module. That was yesterday. I haven't heard back from him yet. We've got some money out here. We're willing to give it to these hard working programmers if they want to work on it. I'm as big a fan of Open Source as the next guy, but we all need to eat. Hell, it's obvious that we have more money than knowledge! We use Win don't we? As for answering your question. I think it still has some stability issues, mostly with individual extensions not following thread safe guidelines more than anything. In other words, I don't have any/many problems unless I call some odd function. --------------------- Founder of The 'What Kind of Idiot Uses PHP with IIS with Oracle on NT?'
