Title
Order of FileUp ISAPI Filter in IIS
Problem
What order should the FileUp ISAPI filter be in the master list in IIS?
Solution
By default, IIS's ISAPI filter list looks like this:
Filter Name                  Priority
--------------               --------
1. sspifilt                  High
2. Compression               High
3. md5filt                   Low
4. fpexedll.dll              Low
FileUp is a 'High' priority ISAPI filter and should generally be ordered after IIS's sspifilt.dll and Compression.dll. However, the needs of your web application and other tools installed might change this ordering.

The new list should look like this after installing FileUp, assuming no 3rd party filters are installed:

Filter Name                  Priority
--------------               --------
1. sspifilt                  High
2. Compression               High
3. FileUp                    High
4. md5filt                   Low
5. fpexedll.dll              Low
