Hi Avinash,

By “you don’t have access to IIS”, I understand you don’t have administrator access to IIS and can only change configuration in web.config. Is this correct?

If yes, then no you can’t enable compression for “.config” files. Only administrator can enable compression for “.config” files by adding that to httpCompression/staticTypes list. You can only control if you want to enable or disable compression completely by setting urlCompression/doStaticCompression property.

Thanks,

Kanwal

IIS 7 Compression. Good? Bad? How much?

If you haven't properly leveraged compression in IIS, you're missing out on a lot! Compression is a trade

A Better HTTP Compression Solution

Here is a better solution that works with JavaScript and also compatible and with AJAX enabled content: micromighty.com/.../HTTP_Compression_Module.aspx

This HTTP Compression module uses configureable MIME types and other features that are not being offered by any other http compression software, it is also being configured through the Web.config and not on IIS,

See how flexible it can be: micromighty.com/.../HTTPCompressionModule.aspx

I think what people are getting at when they say it doesn't work with Javascript is that by default the applicationHost.config has the following line in the static HTMLCompression section:

However in the same document IIS is configured to give .js files to the mimeType "application/x-javascript", so js files will not be zipped by default. Adding the following line gets it all working.

Hope this saves someone else a little time

Thanks for this fresh information; I was looking for a convenient place for compressing heavy video file. Besides these, I have found another place to compress and decompress all sorts of files. That is http://www.krunchit.net where you can zip or unzip ten files online altogether.

How do I enable GZip compression for my web server in IIS?

GZip/Deflate compression will compress the response payload from the IIS web server to the browser. Pages

Hi Eugene,

Right now this is not planned for next release of IIS7. I am going to follow up in the team and see if we should do something similar in compression module. I will reply again when there is a decision on this.

Thanks for suggesting this feature.

Kanwal,

Is it reasonable to hope for whitespace compression and normalization (i.e. minify code.google.com/.../minify) in new releases of iis? There is 3rd party software that can do this through ISAPI filters for IIS5/6.

We've been 10-15% improvements in bandwidth from minifying on our clusters.

Hi Yves Van Dooren,

Yes, its true that IIS6 doesn't support inbound http compression and same is true for IIS7. I am not aware of any plans to support that in next release as well. I will follow-up on this request in the team so that we can evaluate doing this in a future release.

Thanks,

Kanwal

Hi,

I read that IIS6 does not support inbound HTTP compression. Is is true and is there a chance that inbound compression is supported by IIS7?

Best regards,

Yves Van Dooren.

Have you seen an situation where event ID 2264 is logged hourly?

"The directory specified for caching compressed content C:\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files\DefaultAppPool is invalid. Static compression is being disabled"

can you explain how this might be related to any changes in IIS7?
