email this FAQ to a colleague

Q: If I load:

http://www.myserver.com/dir1/
That will execute the global.asa file in that directory. But when I load
http://www.myserver.com/dir2
Which is one of my own sites that has another global.asa, the dir2 global.asa isn't called. What is the problem?

A: This is a bug is IIS 3.0. When you first enter a web site you recieve a session cookie on your browser and the global.asa is run that is relvent to that vroot. Changing vroots while in the same Session (not stopping and starting your browser) will not run global.asa again. The session scope is global to the whole domain, not individual vroots. This has been fixed (is different) in IIS 4.0.
