The official microsoft guide is a good start and worth to take a look at but there some pieces missing in it to make this work. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559072(v=bts.70).aspx)
Well lets start with the configuration. First, make sure that you got IIS installed with CGI and ISAPI coding functions. Go to program and functions in windows 7 or add feature if you're on windows 2008.
Then you have to perform these steps:
(before you proceed open IIS manager)
1 - AddISAPIHandler
First make sure that the ISAPI-dll handler is enabled
Top level Server settings -> Features view -> handler mappings
If ISAPI-dll handler is disabled right click it and select "edit feature permission"
check "Execute" box as on picture above.
2 - AddCGIHandler
Repeat the steps above for the CGI handler
3 - EditFeaturesSettings_addBtRestriction
Next add BTSHTTPReceive.dll to the ISAPI & CGI restrictions rules
Top level Server settings -> Features view -> ISAPI & CGI restrictions
Add
Browse to BTSHTTPReceive.dll
4 - EditFeatureSettings_permissions
Click on Edit Feature Settings and check the two boxes.
5 - Addmodulemapping
Go back to handler mappings (Top level Server settings -> Features view -> handler mappings)
Click on Module mapping and add a new module according to screen shots
6 - AddappPool
Now we need an application pool that runs under an account with access to BTSHTTPReceive.dll path.
7 - Finally, create an application with the application pool just created and under an account that has access to BTSHTTPReceive.dll.
(You can use the test functionality in IIS manager)
Test
Now you should be able to test the configuration.
Create a simple html form page that call the application you just created.
For instance:
"<html>
<body>
<h2>simple test form</h2>
<form method="post" action="http://localhost/MyTestHTTPapp/BTSHTTPReceive.dll?">
<fieldset>
<legend>testData</legend>
<label>someValue1</label><input type = "text" id = "value1" name="value1" value="some value 1" /><br/>
<label>someValue2</label><input type = "text" id = "value2" name="value2" value="some value 2" /><br/>
</fieldset>
<input class = "next" type = "submit" name="next" value = "send" />
</form>
</body>
</html>"
httpReceive
Create a http receive location according to screenshot above
Create for instance a file send location that subscribes to the BTS.receiveportname (for instance)
Start everything and post your form.
You should then "see" the post request in the file saved by your file send adapter:
In this sample request it should be;
"value1=some+value+1&value2=some+value+2&next=send"
And thats it, now your http post location should be operational!
