Ha.. I wouldn't know I moved past legacy framework a while ago...
Good luck to you though!

Wow. On a personal project, I have a button click handler, simply:
onclick="window.open('sysadmin.html', '_self')
This worked fine when I was hosting app on IIS Express. When I switched over to IIS, I started getting an "ANCM In-Process Handler Load Failure". All the other pages using exactly the same code worked fine.
I changed the page name to simply "admin.html" and it worked fine!
WTF is IIS doing? Googling I can't find any info on this. And there are no rules set up on my local instance of IIS to block the request.
Yeah, I suppose I could post this in Q&A, but I'm actually more interested in a general discussion of what other hidden "gems" there are in IIS like this.
And if you still think it should be in the Q&A (though actually, the Weird & The Wonderful might be a good place!), well, withdraw some credits from my CP account for being, well, me.

Maybe it is your browser and/or anti malware plugin?

You know, that might be it - the AV software my company had us install might be blocking that specific link, even though it's localhost.

I heard this last night while watching the "Buzzcocks" Christmas special - and if you are of a roughly similar age, you'll probably remember when he sang the original: Holly Johnson sings 'The Power Of Love'[^]
Compare that to the original (1984) version: Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love[^]

One of my greatest disappointments was seeing Robert Flack in concert in Singapore about 2012, the lady had lost the crystalline voice she one had and no longer had the stamina to maintain a performance. a truly sad outcome.

Truth. And I played the original a long, long time ago. I realized things were going sideways when adults started showing up in chain mail and wizard cloaks (I was 15 at the time).

FF is more a stats play.
Multiple games play out on an identical playing field.
DD has some stats, but more imagination. Individual games play out on a diversity of playing fields.
Seems like more of an opportunity for friends to trash talk each other.
Some serious research goes into some leagues. Like figuring out what positions your friends pick in which round of the draft, etc.

Both my wife and I work from home. We both have to connect to our work networks over VPN, and I also run a daily 8-hour Zoom session for my dev co-workers. We use Spectrum (we signed up about 15 years ago, when they called themselves Time Warner).
Over the last couple of months, I noticed that I've been having bandwidth problems which manifested most notably during Teams meetings, and for me, I was having to wait as long as 30 seconds for my VS windows to update when I scrolled (I have to RDP to a jump box, and then RDP from the jump box to my dev box to be able to write code). I was kinda okay with it, but on Wednesday, my wife complained, and I was in the process of waiting for a 30-second scroll update, so I decided it was time to do something about it.
On Wednesday, I decided to do a internet speed test, and found out I was only getting 4.8-5.5Mbps down.I think everyone can agree that's abysmal performance. I found that we were on the old Time Warner "Internet Extreme" plan which claimed up to 60 Mbps download speed. It was not "extreme" by any means. So why are we only getting 5Mbps? that question will be relevant later on.
I called Spectrum and discovered that they had an almost 2.5x faster plan (200 Mbps) for the same money we were already spending, but for $20 more, we could get 400 Mbps. I jumped on that, big time. They told me that my current modem could ntot provide the bandwidth I was paying for, so they offered to send me a DOCSIS 3.1 modem for free, so I jumped on that, too, but I made plans to get my own modem (sans built-in router) and a separate router so I could change the DNS server IPs, because on Spectrum's router, you cannot change the DNS settings. At all.
I rebooted my modem after getting off the phone, and I immediately started getting 225-230Mbps down. My VPN bandwidth improved, and my my remote session into my dev box so vastly improved, that scrolling delays were reduced to 0.5-1 second.
So I got the new modem and found that it had a 2.5 Gbps WAN port, so I got a TP-Link AX6000 router ($240, 2.5Gbps WAN port, Wifi6, mesh compatible, 8 Gb LAN ports, and two USB ports, and to guarantee max possible throughput, a CAT-8 cable to connect the model to the router. When I got everything configured and provisioned the new modem through Spectrum, my download speed jumped to 435 Mbps (early in the morning, it's as high as 485 Mbps).
My standard internet usage hasn't changed, except it takes less time for the various streaming services to start up on my Roku, but my VPN/RDP connectivity is out-f*cking standing now. I also connected a 500gb and a 1tb SSD to the router and can use those drives for backups, and/or sharing files.
Merry xmas to me!
So here's my question... If I was paying for 60 Mbps, and only getting 5Mbps, why am I now seeing MORE Mbps than I'm paying for? I didn't move, no techs came to my house, and I'm still using the same coax that connects the modem. Is it going through better equipment at the main Spectrum facility? Curious minds, and all that...

I ran into a similar thing with XFinity, including being on a grandfathered plan.
Here's what they told me:
The old plans don't work that well with new equipment, which has to talk to old modems to make the old plans work. They aren't perfect, especially as the equipment gets upgraded.
It could be as simple as the ISP making an upgrade that downgraded your performance on the old plan. That's my read of what happened with my XFinity account.
Now I'm on a 650mbs per second plan but I regularly get at least 700Mbps.

I think it comes down to how their throttling works. Apparently it works better with the newer equipment. That's purely speculation on my part since I haven't had cable internet for more than ten years. I have been stuck with various satellite and large scale wi-fi ISPs since that time. I have StarLink now and it is terrific. Not quite as good as what you have but better than anything else I have had in the last ten years.

As @code-witch said, it was probably updates to both hardware and software. Let's say that, as an example, when you got your old equipment the norm was to use AES128 and that is the maximum your device supports. Today the norm is probably AES512 and your device does not have a function for that built in so it must be calculated using CPU time, which will slow your connect a lot. Also, there are hardware protocol changes (signal encoding on the wires), package formats (today is almost all IP based and back then it were dedicated protocols), etc that will have to use CPU time too.
#realJSOP wrote: why am I now seeing MORE Mbps than I'm paying for
Might be due to the way your are measuring and the your ISP advertises it's speed. If you are measuring using a speed test tool, you might actually be measuring your burst speed. Most ISP allow for burst of data for small periods at a speed that is higher than your subscribed maximum.
My ISP has (had?) a policy in which they advertise a certain speed but in reality (as explained by a technician at the time I subscribed) they feed their fiber cable into a building and then just split the bandwidth equally by all subscribers. This means that if there is any bandwidth not assigned to a subscriber, it will be used to increase (even if temporarily) the bandwidth of everyone on that backbone fiber.

More or less same scenario for me. I paid $25 more per month and my entire family is flying on the net.
my wife and I work from home.
my kids stream movies, gaming, school.
all 4 of us can be on the internet at the same time, and not be impacted anymore by bandwidth issues.
I have Spectrum too.

To quote “The IT Crowd”:
Did you power cycle your modem and/or router before you called support?
An old modem probably had lots of known vulnerabilities. I wonder if someone had commandeered it via a worm?
It might have been busy helping bad actors look for log4j exploits. Log4j probing spiked in our IIS logs, mostly from elastic cloud clients.
