ASP.NET Gzip script and Css on Global.asax

Question

Hello i implement this library in my application

http://www.dominicpettifer.co.uk/Blog/17/gzip-compress-your-websites-html-css-script-in-code

it Works very well if i run the site in Visual Studio but when i compile my site and publish in IIS it only Gzip ASPX files not CSS or JS files.

does anyone knows a better way for implement JavaScript and CSS Gzip in C# 2005 (changing the IIS its not an option it has to be in the code)

thanks in advance

First, you need to create an HttpHandler for processing it:

namespace com.waynehartman.util.web.handlers
{
    [WebService(Namespace = "http://waynehartman.com/")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    public class HttpCompressor : IHttpHandler
    {
        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            // Code for compressing the file and writing it to the HttpResponse
        }
        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get { return true; }
        }
    }
}

Then you need to add a handler mapping in your web.config:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpHandlers>
            <add verb="*" path="*.css" 
                type="com.waynehartman.util.web.handlers.HttpCompressor, WayneHartmanUtilitiesLibrary"/>
            <add verb="*" path="*.js" 
                type="com.waynehartman.util.web.handlers.HttpCompressor, WayneHartmanUtilitiesLibrary"/>
        </httpHandlers>
    </system.web>
</configuration>
