AspEnableAspHtmlFallback Metabase Property

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The AspEnableAspHtmlFallback property controls the behavior of ASP when a new request is to be rejected due to a full request queue. A true value for this property will cause an .htm file with a similar name as the requested .asp file, if it exists, to be sent instead of the .asp file. The naming convention for the .htm file is the name of the .asp file with _asp appended. For example, if the .asp file is hello.asp, then the .htm file should be hello_asp.htm
