Is it necessary to restart IIS when installing a new ISAPI filter?
Always? Sometimes? When?
I'd appreciate documentation links, if you have 'em.
Thanks.

If you are adding a filter at the site level, a restart is not required - but you do need to make at least 1 request to the website for the filter to "load".
If you are adding a filter at the global level, a restart is required.
