Using compression with WCF in IIS I can find documentation for, but its oriented towards using IIS features.
I can find people talking about how they've written their own compression handlers, but it all looks pretty custom.
Is there a best practice around compressing WCF? We're using http bindings.
Edit: setting this as a wiki.

There's nothing out of the box to help you with this.
You can indeed implement your own compression extensions for WCF - several folks have done it, and you should be able to find it using your favorite search engine.
But the best thing you could do for your bindings - as long as your clients all are under your control and you can easily configure them - would be to use binary message encoding vs. textual representations of messages.
You can easily combine binary message encoding with http transport - you need a custom binding, but that's really not a big deal at all. Lots of folks have done that, too - so you can benefit from work that's already been done:
- Binary Http Binding by Nicolas Allen (member of the WCF team at Microsoft)
- Silverlight 3 WCF Binary Message Encoding
- WCF Binary Bindings in Silverlight 3 by John Papa (Silverlight envangelist)
