How to download IIS?
A lot of folks ask us how to "download" IIS; since other web server offerings are available for download on a multiple of platforms, it's an obvious question for the Microsoft web platform stack as well. The answer "for now" is that you can't download IIS because it only comes with Windows.

Compression testing on Windows 7 & WS08 R2
So I've done some recent testing on Compression and in the process I thought I should write up a short blog on how to configure adding new scheme's to compression as well as configuring the compressionLevel for each scheme. (I assume that static and dynamic compression is already installed.) You may have noticed Kanwal's blog http://blogs.iis.net/ksingla/archive/2009/02/16/iis-7-5-updates-to-custom-errors-and-compression.aspx and here is his holder post on the topic http://blogs.iis.net/ksingla/archive/2006/06/13/changes-to-compression-in-iis7.aspx as well, our great documentation lead wrote up the API that you can use to implement your own compression scheme/algorithm. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd692872.aspx You can read those articles to learn more about it. If you'd like some sample code on how to use it, please let me know and I'll post up a stripped down version of the test code I wrote.
