I don't think testshib cares unless you're using flows involving SOAP.

Those spaces in your log enities there seem suspicious to me. I would
check for whitespace in your XML file that might be throwing something
off. I would have to check the code to see whether it's handling that or
not.

I can't really identify an obvious issue, something is off in your Site
mappings.

That error usually involves SSL offloading or load balancing. If you have
some kind of bizarre network situation, the way a lot of firewall-obsessed
places do, that might be a source of complexity.

Extension, actually, not the filter, but yes.

I just did the first actual test of the software on it, that's why it's
not listed. IIS 8 certainly supports filters (seeing as I just tested it).

(That aside, the UI for Server 2012 is the most hysterically awful joke I
think I've ever seen.)
