Saw the same issue but for me it was because the ISAPI wildcard was using the incorrect ISAPI file.
Turns out that the ISAPI filter was actually blocking the service. So I removed the wildcard, added back windows integrated security - and the website now works.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
