WebSpeed Messenger administration

The WebSpeed Messenger resides on your Web server machine. It picks up incoming
application service requests from WebSpeed clients and directs them to a WebSpeed broker that
supports that application service. The Messenger is either a CGI program, or an ISAPI or
NSAPI process.
There are four different WebSpeed Messengers:
• CGIIP Messenger — Runs on almost all Web servers, but tends to have the slowest
response times.
• WSASP Messenger — Is used to call WebSpeed applications from a Microsoft Active
Server Page. It cannot coexist with any other Messenger on your Web server.
• WSISA Messenger — Runs on Microsoft IIS Web servers.
• WSNSA Messenger — Runs on Netscape Web servers.
You cannot create or delete WebSpeed Messengers from the management console. You can,
however, edit the Messenger's properties, enable or disable the Messenger, and examine the
Messenger’s log file from the console.
