What do you do when you want HTTP Compression to speed up your site but you are using ASP.NET (1.x or 2.0) in a hosted environment?

You get HttpCompress from www.blowery.org/code/httpcompressionmodule.html. This is a module that sits inline and handles compression of your .aspx pages and any other mime type that may be handled by ASP.NET.  This is a pretty good work around if you don't have permission to IIS to enable HTTP Compression there.  Of course that would be a better solution but many hosters won't enable it because of the possible CPU consumption issues.  Oh well, get around them by implementing your own solution!

I know dasBlog uses it in the 1.9.x version.  WhatsYour20.com is also using it at this time.

It's been around for awhile, it's configurable and it's easy to use. 

Give it a try and speed up your site today!

One caveat is testing it using ASP.NET Development Server.  Check out the link for more info.
