I would recommend not using either of these, but building on http.sys
directly.  See for example:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/a2a45c42-38bc-464c-a097-d7a202092a54.mspx?mfr=true

This requires IIS 6.0 and at least Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP
SP2, but it's definitely the way of the future, and provides potentially
much better performance than ISAPI filters or extensions.
