Configure httpCompression settings for WIndows Azure websites

In any case, you can control the compression settings on azure windows websites.

I want to enable dynamic json compression and can successfully do this on local sites by setting up the applicationHosts.config file accordingly.

Are there any options for this on windows azure website? (not web roles)

HTTP compression is not supported on Windows Azure websites. Since this is a very common request from Windows Azure websites, the Azure Websites team is aware of this and is working on it. If HTTP compression MUST be for your application, I would say that Azure Web Role is your best option.

Starting with the release of Windows Azure in January 2014, Azure websites now fully support HTTP compression, among several other unlocked features.

For an excellent MS blog article on this subject from the Windows Azure group blog see this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2014/01/28/more-to-explore-configuration-options- unlocked-in-windows-azure-web-sites.aspx

HTTP compression in IIS is enabled through ApplicationHost.config. We will enable access to this section in WAWS in our October release (exact TBD date). In the October release, this will be included through a special file that users will download (we will provide documentation at the time of release). Later (December or January release) we will include this section in the web.config application. Configuration Link: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httpcompression
