What is World Wide Web Publishing Service?
World Wide Web Publishing Service is a component of Internet Information Services (IIS) on Microsoft Windows 2000 and of Internet Information Server (IIS) on Microsoft Windows NT.
The World Wide Web Publishing Service provides support on Windows 2000 and Windows NT for communication using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
This protocol allows users to publish Web content on IIS for use on the Internet or on corporate intranets. Published Web content can then be accessed and displayed on client computers by using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The World Wide Web Publishing Service is also central to third-party applications that facilitate remote administration of computers running Windows 2000 and Windows NT using Web browsers as their standard administrative interface.
