When trying to navigate to a file with the extension .svc when using II7 (that is in Windows Vista and Windows 2008), you may get an error like this:

Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and is not allowed.

Just wanted to drop a note that Ian and I are working on the next version of IWeb.

IWeb 04.00.00 will use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and require that you have ASP.NET 3.0 or higher installed (For IWeb 03.00.00 you only need ASP.NET 2.0 installed).

Using WCF we will be able to allow you to expose any method from your custom module as web services method and still use the extensive IWeb security configuration screen to set granular access to those methods.

You will be able to write those methods in any ASP.NET language and you will not have to actually add the methods to IWeb. IWeb will "discover" that the methods exist (because you will use a partial class).

We anticipate a release sometime in 2nd quarter of 2008.

Today we released IWEB 03.00.00 after an extensive Beta testing period of nearly two months. This release contains the file manager code created by Ian Lackey as well as the IWeb Explorer file manager client that was also created by Ian. I added methods to create and retrieve a user.

The next version will be IWeb 04.00.00 (unless we find bugs in 03.00.00, in that case we will do a point release). 04.00.00 will use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and require that you have ASP.NET 3.0 or higher installed (For IWeb 03.00.00 you only need ASP.NET 2.0 installed).

This site will continue to be the main site, however we will point the download links to all future releases to the CodePlex site at: http://www.codeplex.com/IWeb

The reason is that we have enough developers to now need source control! CodePlex provides that.

Wow yesterday IWeb hit 500 users! It is nice to see that 500 people have found IWeb useful. Lets take a step back and see what we have accomplished:

(Currently we are Beta Testing this. It has not been released yet. It may take a month or so)

In addition to the new user management methods in IWeb, are the new file management capabilities. We have started to expose all of the functionality of the "File Manager" through IWeb methods. This will allow for easy management of files located on your portal.

Below is a list of methods currently exposed via IWeb. We plan to expand this list in future releases but feel that this covers most of the common tasks. We tried to mirror the methods in the FileSystemUtils class; however, some method signatures did change slightly due to the nature of web service communication. These changes should have minimal impact on the usability of these methods.
