Out of curiosity I decided to try the Microsoft code with the header as described in the kb in Internet Explorer: print print 'Status: 200 OK' print 'Content-type: text/html' Interestingly, the microsoft code works in IE7 but not in FF2. Any ideas on why this would be? p.s., I was wondering why Microsoft would put out a kb that simply did not work.

Changing the print statement as specified in you problem 3 solutions was the answer. Thank you thank you thank you!

How does it compare to this FastCGI extension for IIS: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1521 PS, that looks very promising.

With all the work you've put into getting this going, you might as well take the extra step for the performance gain. It keeps the Python interpreter loaded in between requests, and from the looks of it, CGI has been a pain for you anyway. You won't get templating per se, but adding a framework like Django in the mix will give you a pretty nice and fast template system. http://pyisapie.sourceforge.net/ Hi there- you might want to look into using an ISAPI server extension.

I think the problem lies in that area. Did you put in the correct Python path? Also make sure you're using regular double quotes (it looks like my article here changed them to fancy quotes which probably wouldn't work.) Let me know if that helps. Joe,
