Gzip compression using IIS6.0 for files without an extension

Question

Has anyone managed to activate Gzip compression on a website in IIS6 ? We're using Castle Monorail (it's very nice btw) and as a result have clean RESTful URLs with no extensions..... ..... and there's the rub -> as far as we can see we need extensions on our endpoints to allow gzip compression.

It seems the only way out is our own HTTPModule - does anyone else know of any other way ??

Cheers ian

Answer 1

Well I've found one way... it's a combination of the HTTPModule technique and Monorail filters.

So the article above by Rick Strahl is one of a number on the web that demonstrate using gzip / deflate compression. Lovely. Using these techniques with the a Monorail TransformFliter should work very nicely.

Any other ways, or still got to craft code ?
