Found a great tool, which is also listed on some MSDN pages. It’s awesome to analyse HTTP traffic to and from webservers.
Fiddler is a HTTP Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP Traffic, set breakpoints, and “fiddle” with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler is designed to be much simpler than using NetMon or Achilles, and includes a simple but powerful JScript.NET event-based scripting subsystem.

The first information about IIS 7.0 has being released in an interview and there’ll be more about IIS 7.0 at the VSLive! 2005 conference.
“Microsoft’s next-generation Web server, Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, isn’t due for release until Longhorn ships sometime in 2006. But it’s a good idea for Web developers to start thinking about the changes IIS 7.0 will bring, said Bill Staples, group program manager of Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) and Web Platform and Tools Team, and Mary Alice Colvin, product manager for IIS and the entire IIS development team. In fact, the IIS 7.0 beta program is set to start sometime this year.
In a candid interview on the topic, Staples and Colvin discussed the coming changes (also see the sidebar, ‘Top 6 Features in IIS 7.0′ by Eric Deily, who will be talking about IIS 7.0 at VSLive! next week). The most important of these is the componentization of IIS. All of IIS’s functions will be specific components that you can turn on or off at your leisure. This means that when you install the Web server, you’ll be able to add only the functionality you need, one piece at a time.”

Microsoft LogParser has now been updated to a version 2.2.
Log parser is a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows® operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory®. You tell Log Parser what information you need and how you want it processed. The results of your query can be custom-formatted in text based output, or they can be persisted to more specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or a chart.
Most software is designed to accomplish a limited number of specific tasks. Log Parser is different… the number of ways it can be used is limited only by the needs and imagination of the user. The world is your database with Log Parser.
