http-compression

I am implementing Gzip compression for CSS and JS files on my site and just need to double check something. Is the file compressed on every request? or is it collected and sent from the Temporary folder (if the file exists)? I just want to be sure that my files are not compressed on every request. Also, is this a default behaviour or do I need some extra configurtion? And last, do I need to worry or configure something when using hash tags in the path (to inform the browser that the file has changed) and static file compression? or it should work with no problem. Edit: I am just using static

I wrote a piece of Rack Middleware to automatically unzip compressed request bodies. The code seems to be working just fine, but when I plug it into my rails app, I get a failure "Invalid JSON" from ActionController::ParamsParser. As a debugging mechanism, I'm writing both the zipped content, and the unzipped content to a file (to make sure that code is working properly) and I do receive my original JSON document (before the client zips it up). The data I'm posting is JSON data, and the unzipped content is detected as valid JSON from http://jsonlint.com . Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? class

I am trying to enable the WebSocket-Extension permessage-deflate in IIS 8, but with no luck so far. It seems, that IIS does not support any extensions and does not respond with an Sec-WebSockets-Extension header. I tried to send it manually via Response.Headers.Add("Sec-WebSockets-Extension", "permessage-deflate; client_no_context_takeover; server_no_context_takeover") and did the compression/decompression via DeflateStream by hand before sending/after receiving, but then the receive methods of the WebSocket failed. I also tried to implement the WebSocket manually as an OWIN-Middleware (with

We are trying to enable HTTP compression (gzip) and HTTP 304 Caching via ETags on Azure CDN. We already discovered an issue with enabling Azure CDN Compression , but now we can't get compression and ETag caching ( 304s ) working simultaneously. This issue has been posted to Azure forums here . Here is an example of the compressed , but not HTTP cacheable (304) link: https://xxxx.vo.msecnd.net/resourceManager.axd?token=HL80vX5hf3lIAAA&group=core.js Here is an example of the cacheable (304) , but not compressible (gzip) link: https://xxxx.vo.msecnd.net/resourceManager.axd?token=HL80vX5hf3lIAAA

For an ASP.NET 4.0 / IIS7 web app, I would like to support compressed HTTP requests . Basically, I would like to support clients that would add Content-Encoding: gzip in the request headers, and compress the body accordingly. Does anyone known how I achieve such a behavior? Ps: concerning, I have multiple endpoints REST and SOAP, and it feels a better solution to support compression at the HTTP level rather than custom encoders for each endpoint. For those who might be interested, the implementation is rather straightforward with an IHttpModule that simply filters incoming requests. public

I am implementing a reverse proxy for routing requests to a backend server. Functionally everything works correctly, however I am concerned that all responses from the backend server are transferred to the client (web browser) without compression. The setup is as follows: Backend server, not accessible for public, on an internal domain. Hosts a web application on https://internal.app Front web server with IIS 7.5, hosting the main public website and acting as a proxy for the backend server. The main site is at https://site.com . I want to route all requests to https://site.com/app/WHATEVER to
