2039	Provide a way to use django under IIS	mamcx	nobody	"Exist a lack of information in how use python in general and django in particular with IIS. 

IIS is the second most used webserver according:

http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html

I think that django can help in attract Windows/IIS developers.

Some discussion:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/530e823938919feb

Some starting points:

FastCGI for IIS

http://www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/

Some backgroun in how RoR guys make it:

And pretty simple rewrite solution for IIS with ASP.NET enable:

From the gogle groups was suggesting:

1- Ignore IIS. Go to Apache/etc...

A good advice if is currently impossible go for IIS. But is bad from the point of view of the developer/company/customer that is considering python/django for development. People hate change things ;)

2- Proxy IIS to Apache/etc..

Good for a intranet/dedicated server/vps setup... any hint?

3- Figure out how match the RoR solution or leverage the others ways to deploy IIS"	New feature	closed	Core (Other)	dev	Normal	needsinfo	iis, fastcgi, isapi		Someday/Maybe	1	0	0	0	0	0
