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.
