AF_IC01_U5. HTTP protocol and web servers
Unit 5b. Practice. Internet Information Server + ASP
Introduction
In this practice, you will go further in the knowledge of the Internet Information Server (IIS), as
well as its configuration, settings and features. The web programming language used is ASP
(Active Server Pages). You will need a virtual machine with a Windows Server installed on it,
and you can use your own real machine as a client.
Objectives
