Building SP from source on Windows with VS2010 missing Versions.props and Includes.props

[Martin Robinson]

IIS has definitely been restarted loads of times. You can even see that the attributes are being found as part of the session status from the native.log file:

However, as already noted, when I debug https://watford.dai.co.uk/BBC_DEV/loginnew.aspx and put a breakpoint on its page load method, there is no sign of the attributes being passed, but only the other Shibboleth request headers.

Weird thing is that if I set this up so that this same ASPX page requests SP-Initiated SSO to testshib.org,  then its attributes are indeed there in the request headers, and everything works. However, I'm trying to integrate to an IdP that sends unsolicited responses, so the situation is slightly different.

It feels almost as if it might be a timing issue, with ASPX starting to process the request before isapi_shib has finished with it, but I find that difficult to believe.

I'm baffled. I've now spent about 4 days working on this problem and have got nowhere.

I'm suggesting that there are CGI APIs in which the answer to "what are all the headers?" excludes headers that are in fact available. I believe PHP is one, and IIRC ASP itself (not the new one) may also be one. I am not saying anything about .NET, because I don't know anything about .NET.

Ok. Then that leaves not restarting IIS across changes to the mappings. 
There is no other explanation I can think of.
