======================================================================= 
 
Description: 
 
The IISLog sample demonstrates how to receive and parse the IE4 user 
logging profile from the server side. When the user subscribes to a 
channel which has hit count logging specified and they later browse to 
those pages, IE40 will log the hit counts and post them back to the 
server when the channel subscribed to gets updated. The user can 
globally turn logging off from the control panel UI if desired. IE40 
uses the W3C extended server log file format and may encode a posted 
string as directed in the CDF file associated with the channel 
subscribed to. This sample shows how to parse the extended server log 
file format and merge to a W3C flexible log file format. This sample 
also shows how to decode a posted string if it is encoded using 
pluggable protocol filters. IISLog.htm is a sample page to post a string 
to logparse.dll on the server side. The posted string should simulate 
the extended server log file format. 
 
Building procedure: 
 
The Logparse ISAPI DLL was created and built using VC++ 5.0 ISAPI 
extension wizard. VC++ 5.0 is required to build this sample. It links 
to urlmon.lib to obtain the pluggable protocol filters. 
 
Install the ISAPI DLL: 
 
You need IIS 4.0 or greater to run this sample. Copy LogParse.dll to 
that server's scripts directory. A detailed description of how to 
install an ISAPI DLL can be found in the MSDN library.
