Introduction
Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 and later provide a request-
processing architecture which includes:
Components in IIS
IIS contains several components that perform important functions for the
application and Web server roles in Windows Server® 2008 (IIS 7.0) and
Windows Server 2008 R2 (IIS 7.5). Each component has responsibilities,
such as listening for requests made to the server, managing processes,
and reading configuration files. These components include protocol
listeners, such as HTTP.sys, and services, such as World Wide Web
Publishing Service (WWW service) and Windows Process Activation
Service (WAS).
Protocol Listeners
Protocol listeners receive protocol-specific requests, send them to IIS for
processing, and then return responses to requestors. For example, when
a client browser requests a Web page from the Internet, the HTTP
listener, HTTP.sys, picks up the request and sends it to IIS for
processing. Once IIS processes the request, HTTP.sys returns a response
to the client browser.
By default, IIS provides HTTP.sys as the protocol listener that listens for
HTTP and HTTPS requests. HTTP.sys was introduced in IIS 6.0 as an
HTTP-specific protocol listener for HTTP requests. HTTP.sys remains the
HTTP listener in IIS 7 and later, but includes support for Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL).
To support services and applications that use protocols other than HTTP
and HTTPS, you can use technologies such as Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF). WCF has listener adapters that provide the
functionality of both a protocol listener and a listener adapter. Listener
adapters are covered later in this document. For more information about
WCF, see Windows Communication Foundation on MSDN.
