Setting up Microsoft Windows IIS servers for XML

It is strongly recommended that you install Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 or later. GoLive generated pages can also work with version 2.5, but this version does not support all of the current XML standard so you might find XML files that are not properly processed. GoLive generated pages will first look for XML 3.0 or later and then, if not found, look for XML 2.5. You can obtain the Microsoft XML parser and tools from the http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads area. The items to download are:

• Under Web and XML: MSXML Parser 3.0 Service Pack 1 Release.
• Under Web and XML: WinHTTP Proxy Configuration Utility. See the Readme.txt file included with the proxy configuration for details about running it and restarting IIS after running it. See also Microsoft knowledge base article Q289481 "Proxy Configuration Utility Must Be Run for ServerXMLHTTP to Work" for more information.

Running proxycfg is required so that it can initiate HTTP requests to read the XML data from the URL that you specify. Even if you have no proxy servers on your network, you still need to run the proxy setup utility.

To set up the proxy configuration, run the Microsoft utility proxycfg. After the utility has been run, restart IIS.
