- <H2>Functional Overview</H2>
- This section of the Exploration Air sample site demonstrates the use of the Microsoft Posting Acceptor.
- <P>
- Posting Acceptor is a server add-on tool that Web content providers can use to publish their
- content using HTTP Post (RFC 1867). After installing Posting Acceptor on your Web server
- running Windows NT Server, Windows NT Workstation, or Windows 95, you will be able to provide a
- hosting service for users wanting to post Web content to your server. Resources are provided to assist
- with Posting Acceptor installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- <P>
- Posting Acceptor allows Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), Microsoft Peer Web Services,
- and Microsoft Personal Web Server to accept Web content from Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard/API,
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later and Netscape Navigator 2.02 or later through any
- standard HTTP connection.
- <P>
- The user selects one or more files to upload and then selects the <STRONG>Upload</STRONG> option.
- The file is sent to IIS which in turn writes the file to the appropriate location on the hard disk.
- By default this is based off <STRONG>HTTP://Server/IISSamples/ExAir/BusinessPartners/Upload/<I>yyyyy</I></STRONG>
- where <I>yyyyy</I> is the name of the uploading company.
- <P>
- If the client has a client authentication certificate then the <STRONG>Subject Common Name</STRONG>
- is used for <I>yyyyy</I>, otherwise the HTTP logon name is used.
-
- <H2>Components Used</H2>
- The Posting Acceptor is the core of this business function.
- <H3>How it Works</H3>
- Posting Acceptor provides a receiver for Microsoft IIS to accept files from clients using the
- HTTP multipart/form-data method to post their Web content.
