compression

I have a REST service that returns a large chunk of XML, about 150k worth. e.g. http://xmlservice.com/services/RestService.svc/GetLargeXML Therefore I want to compress the response from the server, as GZIP should reduce this to something much smaller. Having searched everywhere I cannot for the life of me find an example of how to perform compression for WCF REST services. Help!! NOTE: My service is hosted by a third party and I CANNOT do this via IIS as it is not supported by them. It is actually pretty easy to do this, at least with .NET 4.0 (I didn't test with 3.5). What I do is just let

I'm attempting to gzip a JSON response from an ASMX web service to be consumed on the client-side by jQuery. My web.config already has httpCompression set like so: (I'm using IIS 7) <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" staticCompressionDisableCpuUsage="90" staticCompressionEnableCpuUsage="60" dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage="80" dynamicCompressionEnableCpuUsage="50"> <dynamicTypes> <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/> <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true"/> <add mimeType="text/css" enabled="true"/> <add

I have a large sequence of random integers sorted from the lowest to the highest. The numbers start from 1 bit and end near 45 bits. In the beginning of the list I have numbers very close to each other: 4, 20, 23, 40, 66. But when the numbers start to get higher the distance between them is a bit higher too (actually the distance between them is aleatory). There are no duplicated numbers. I'm using bit packing to save some space. Nonetheless, this file can get really big. I would like to know what kind of compression algorithm can be used in this situation, or any other technique to save as

So I have this problem. I have an IplImage that i want to compress to JPEG and do something with it. I use libjpeg. I found a lot of answers "read through examples and docs" and such and did that. And successfully written a function for that. FILE* convert2jpeg(IplImage* frame) { FILE* outstream = NULL; outstream=malloc(frame->imageSize*frame->nChannels*sizeof(char)) unsigned char *outdata = (uchar *) frame->imageData; struct jpeg_error_mgr jerr; struct jpeg_compress_struct cinfo; int row_stride; JSAMPROW row_ptr[1]; jpeg_create_compress(&cinfo); jpeg_stdio_dest(&cinfo, outstream); cinfo.image

I have a bunch of 10 digit integers that I'm passing in a URL. Something like: "4294965286", "2292964213". They will always be positive and always be 10 digits. I'd like to compress those integers into the smallest possible form that can still be used in in a URL (aka letters and numbers are perfectly fine) and then uncompress them later. I've looked at using gzipstream but it creates larger strings, not shorter. I'm currently using asp.net so a vb.net or c# solution would be best. Thanks Yes. GZIP is a compression algorithm which both requires compressible data and has an overhead (framing
