Does iisnode block threads per request or connection

iisnode is completely async and does not block threads per request or connection. It does allocate small amounts of memory for active requests.

How do I report issues?

• all interesting information from the IIS error page that displays (if any)
• all interesting information IIS logs into the Event Viewer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524984(v=vs.90).aspx)

I am getting a 503 response when running samples

If you run into a 503 status code with IIS reporting error code 0x5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED), make sure the identity of the application pool running the site that hosts your node.js application has read & execute rights to node.exe on disk. If you are using the default IIS configuration (DefaultAppPool running under ApplicationPoolIdentity), you can set appropriate ACLs on the node.exe by running:

icacls %systemdrive%\node\node.exe /grant IIS_IUSRS:rx
