No, I’m not talking about Mono, but native calls to the Microsoft .NET Framework. From Apache. I had that idea quite some time ago, but there was no mod_reroute_to_aspwpexe.dll or something like that to pull the trick. There is now! No more excuses to use IIS on your Windows-machine, Apache can do the .NET trick as well. Nicely handing over all .NET-calls (via mod_aspdotnet) to the .NET-workerprocess, keeping managed (.NET) and unmanaged (Apache) code separate.

Read all about this important module here.

I find it strange that this project did not get more attention. I want Apache, but not being able to “run” .NET stopped me from using it. I will now try to switch to Apache, since it gives me more freedom to use programs designed for LAMP. A lot of them just don’t work under IIS, since they rely on .htaccess or other internal Apache features.
If anybody knows of a good configuration tool for Apache, please let me know.

Scoble has found a new way to lure visitors to his blog: Open Source software. Being a Microsoft Employee, Robert asks you not to tell this to anyone else. Of course we will not. Because WE already knew how great Open Source software can be. Welcome to the club, Scoble.
