Server Side Includes and GZip?

Question

Is it possible to use GZip compression on the ouput of files that have been created using server side includes in IIS 6? If so how?

Answer 1

If IIS can't do this internally, you can do it with reverse proxy techniques. Basically, the app runs on the server doing the SSI, but outsiders talk to your proxy server which does compression, and gives you a chance to do other clever things, like caching.
