IIS, XP, SSL and KeepAlives

I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am doing XP development using Studio 2005 / IIS. So far, this has been a problem for me until today.

I needed to add an SSL certificate in order to complete development for the portion of the site that runs in SSL using sessions that are only allowed in secure mode.

So, I install the cert and start studio in debug mode / F 5 and hit the secure page with my browser. Pages load some images and not other images when using https and alives support is enabled. Disable keep alives and all page images are loaded on every request, but studio won't attach a debugger, clutching auth error. Turn the alives support back on, the studio will debug just fine, but the images are sluggish.

I'm pretty sure this is a communication limitation imposed on IIS in XP. Is there a job for this madness? Flip flopping a checkbox to get the job done is killing my sanity. Vista and / or server operating systems are not a feature.

You can change the MaxConnections value to something higher:



C:\Inetpub\scripts>adsutil.vbs get W3SVC/MaxConnections
MaxConnections                  : (INTEGER) 10
C:\Inetpub\scripts>adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/MaxConnections 100
MaxConnections                  : (INTEGER) 100
