[Zope] Windows Server 2003, II6 and ASP404 vs form posts

Anyone out there using Zope inside IIS 6 on Server 2003 via the ASP404 
technique?

I've done this successfully on Windows 200 and XP, but on Server 2003, 
IIS does not seem to be passing the post data to the error handler.

When Win2003 was young, there was some list traffic on a similar 
problem, and Brian Sullivan figured out that IIS was reporting a 
REQUEST_METHOD of "GET" even for POST requests. However, the POST data 
was still passing, so it was possible to check Request.totalBytes (this 
is the ASP Request, not Zope's) to determine the real nature of the request.

Now, though, many an IIS patch later, IIS is invoking the error handler 
with http content length set to zero (even though it reports that 
content type is www-urlencoded). So, form submissions do nothing.

And, if there's nothing to be done about this, does anyone know if the 
Fresh Logic or Enfold ISAPI solutions have any way to intermix serving 
of IIS and Zope content? If I didn't have to do that, I'd be using 
Apache, and be done by now ;) .

Thanks!
