IIS 7/7.5 Architecture Service Host (SVCHost.EXE) Worker Process (W3WP.EXE) Configuration (applicationhost.config) Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) World Wide Web Service (W3SVC) HTTP.SYS Kernel-Mode Listener
Request Flow Service Host (SVCHost.EXE) Worker Process (W3WP.EXE) Bindings: http://*:80:site1 Applicationhost.config Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) World Wide Web Service (W3SVC) HTTP Protocol Host HTTP.SYS Kernel-Mode Listener Request Queue Respons e Cache
HTTP.SYS Accepting HTTP (and HTTPS) connections Parsing and validating HTTP requests Queuing of HTTP requests in application specific queues Caching of HTTP responses New SSL Kernel Mode Windows authentication
WAS Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) Configuration Manager Reads configuration from applicationhost.config and reacts to changes in configuration Passes configuration to the World Wide Web Service Process Manager Starts worker processes when a listener (e.g. HTTP.SYS) receives the first request Monitors state and health of worker processes Recycles worker processes based on certain parameters, e.g. lifetime, number of requests, schedule etc. Prevents resource exhaustion, e.g. by limiting number of worker processes that can be active at the same time. W3SVC HTTP specific listener adapter site binding information (IP address, port, host header) Application Pool and Application settings configuration changes W3svc
W3WP.EXE Worker Process Infrastructure Worker Process == Application Pool (99% case) Establishes a connection with WAS at startup Responds to WAS requests, e.g. when asked to shutdown. Picks up requests from the HTTP.SYS request queue Manages request pipeline Process requests and send responses Runs all third party code Modules, handlers, isapi filters and extensions, assemblies, COM objects etc.

Before No Core developer working on or for Windows Windows was a 2 nd class platform Binaries releases days or weeks after the sources releases Absence QA on Windows Lack of documentation and communication Now Windows Internals Team 2 core developers 7 regular helpers, contributors or testers (growing) Windows is now a primary platform Synchronized releases 5.2.6, 5.2.7, 5.2.8, 5.3.0, 5.3.12 QA on Windows 95% of the core tests pass on Windows Dedicated communication channels Mailing list, Windows internal list, iis.net/php(http://www.php.net/mailinglists.php) IRC channel on freenode #php-dev-win
FastCGI: The best of both CGI and ISAPI Enhancement to CGI protocol Web server creates FastCGI process pool for very first request Web server re-uses existing FastCGI processes for subsequent requests Configurable Resources Download for IIS 6 Ships in IIS 7/7.5, installed with the CGI feature Benefits of FastCGI for Windows Much faster than CGI because there is no process creation cost Much more stable than ISAPI because of single threaded execution environment
