Got what to work? What about IIS? What are you trying to do? What did you try? What happened when you tried it?

Hi PsaltyDS,

It was a bit of an open ended question

My question was really directed at people far cleverer that me - who have been able to get autoit running as one of the web server side scripting languages.

Unfortunately - in our company - all the Windows based webservers use IIS.

I have got tcl working on an apache server and that is great - but the place I need to get some scripts running now are applications running on Windows.

Just for your information - I want to enable users on company LAN to use a web front end to allow them the query (and maybe some control) hundreds of headless computers attached to production tools. As indicated above - I have been able to do this with apache and tcl - in a way that is applicable for applications hosted on those servers, now I have different servers and different applications and I would like to use the same mechanism.

So I suppose my original question still stands -

IIS and autoit, Has anyone got this to work yet ?

Thanks.

I had the same question long time ago

AU3 on IIS

When you start reading from there on, you will find out that no one ever gave me the answer.

First I thought I would have found the solution in FAST CGI .

But never got started whit that.

So my recomendation is use my alternative called Webbased AU3 on LightTD

It runs from a thumbdrive if needed. Nothing to install at all.

OK - I think I have got this working on IIS running on my laptop.

XP SP2

IIS 5.1 ?

The trick to making with work was the following.

Configure Website Properties | Home directory | Application settings | Configuration.

Add Autoit as application mapping.

The real trick to making this work was the following.

The page headers had to be exactly the following - anything else did not work correctly.

ConsoleWrite('<Status: 200 OK' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('<Content-type: text/html' & @LF& @LF& @LF)oÝ÷ جyÛayú%"h¦'$ºZ­©µê쥫,yÖÞ·Ç+ljëh×6$my_input = StringReplace(EnvGet('QUERY_STRING'),"%20"," ")

After that it just worked.

What I really want to know is if this will work on Server 2003 - I will have to test

I hope this helps someone muttley

This would be just great news !!

i haven't tested it yet. Will do soon.

But one more question. How does this fit in with the AuCGI script ?

Can you give an example of an HTML page you tested.

Thanks
