Hi once again, I have come to my attention that ySlow says my xml responses are not compressed within my restful WCF service. Seen loads of info on creating compression channels etc, but figured IIS7 where the WCF service is hosted should be able to do it by itself via dynamic compression and probably...

I was looking at the compression of content returned from my IIS7 websites and compressions is generally working well EXCEPT for the case of detailed error messages, such as 404 errors. The 404 errors have a content-type of "text/html; charset=utf-8", which is different than most of the content...

Solved :) It turns out that if you run an application pool with a custom identity you need to set individual permissions on the metabase keys using metabase explorer. I had already added the IIS_WPG group that the account belongs to, but this doesn;t seem to be enough. Adding the actual local account...

Hi All, I'm having a spot of trouble getting compression to work in IIS6 under Windows 2003 R2 x64 SP2. I've done the standard thing of editing the Metabase file to include the file types for static and dynamic (this is the Metabase extract) <IIsFilter Location ="/LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression"...

Does anyone know if FTP 7.5 supports compression ? I am looking for something similiar to what Serv-U offers. Serv-U also support upload and download bandwidth throttling on a global and per user basis.

Hi I have a web service in C# that computes every 10 minutes some very large report - amount of data returned = 120MB. The report is cached.

Hi, We have just configured ISS to use HTTP Compression for a web site we are developing. This has altered the behaviour of the download of a csv file at the client becasue the client does not recognise the fact that the file being downloaded is a csv file. The web form doing the download cofigures the...

I have been editing the metabase in iis6 to change the compression settings and file extensions--here's an example: <IIsCompressionScheme Location ="/LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression/gzip" HcCompressionDll="%windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" HcCreateFlags="1" HcDoDynamicCompression...

After adding compression to an iis 6 on a windows server 2003 the server started to cause "Server Application Unavailable" and in the log it shows the error "It is not possible to run two different versions of ASP.NET in the same IIS process. Please use the IIS Administration Tool to reconfigure...

It's not really a failed request. The server returns the content without compressing it. I have included 2 request trace file contents (these are verbose). Here's the SOAP 1.2 request trace (application/soap+xml) that doesn't get compressed: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF...
