Gzip compression using IIS6.0 for files without extension

Question

Has anyone been able to activate gzip compression on a website in IIS6? We use Castle Monorail (which is very nice by the way) and as a result have clean RESTful URLs without extensions ..... ..... and there rub → as far as we can see, we need extensions on our endpoints to enable gzip compression .

It seems the only way out is our own HTTPModule - does anyone else know about something else?

Cheers Ian

Answer 1

Well, I found one way ... this is a combination of the HTTPModule method and Monorail filters.

So the article above by Rick Strall is one of a number on the Internet that demonstrates the use of gzip / deflate compression. Beautiful. Using these methods with Monorail TransformFliter should work very well .

Any other ways, or still need to create some code?
