I haven't been able to get this plugin to work with ColdFusion yet. Must this be configured only as a "per-site" application (w/BIN in each root directory)? Is it possible to integrate it as a "global" module?

I use ColdFusion 10 & 2016 w/IIS 8.5 & 10 and both use Tomcat/Java. I'd like to use X-SendFile to eliminate locking up ColdFusion threads during long/slow file downloads. I know that some CF Devs use Unix/Apache, but some IIS installations have successfully used Boncode IIS Connector or Helicon Ape's X-SendFile to add X-SendFile capability.

I currently use IIS WebSpeed & IIS Brotli modules and am able to configure them globally for all websites. (IIS WebSpeed has customized ".config" files in each root directory. Brotli has no options other than global mime types.)

Regarding HTTP response headers, I currently add headers using ColdFusion so that IIS Webspeed's behavior can be modified after the content is returned from Tomcat and returned to IIS for delivery. I'd like to be able to do this with IIS-X-Sendfile-plugin, but I don't want to have to manually configure this in IIS Manager for every site. Can support be added for a root ".config" files or have it be configured as a global setting? (I'm not even sure if you are working on this anymore.)

Thanks.

I haven't used IIS in a while. I don't see why the module couldn't be used globally.

You can see the machine / host level config files here:

So I believe it should work globally - not 100% on where to place the plugin etc this article might help
