Helicon Ape is the piece of software by Helicon Tech destined to introduce Apache functionality on IIS web servers. Helicon Ape is realized as an ASP.NET module for IIS 7 (and higher), implementing functionality of more than 35 Apache modules, that allows using Apache configurations (leaving syntax intact) on IIS and extend standard IIS capabilities.[1]

Aside from realization of Apache modules Helicon Ape possesses some proprietary modules for server-side debugging and profiling (mod_developer), SEO optimization (mod_linkfreeze) and hotlinking protection (mod_hotlink).[2]

Helicon Ape has a GUI interface (see the screenshot) that allows easy configs editing (directives auto-completion and spell-check features supported) and browsing, includes a regular expressions tester and a password generation utility.[3]

Modules

Here's the list of modules currently supported in Helicon Ape:

Compatibility

Helicon Ape was designed specifically to benefit from all advantages of IIS 7 architecture, so 100% operability is ensured only on IIS 7 and higher (Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2).[5] On IIS6 (Windows Server 2003) Helicon Ape offers slightly limited functionality (see compatibility chart).[6]
