I use the following attribute to decorate my BaseController
class.
public class OutputCompressAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { string encodingsAccepted = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"]; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(encodingsAccepted)) return; encodingsAccepted = encodingsAccepted.ToLowerInvariant(); HttpResponseBase response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response; if (encodingsAccepted.Contains("gzip")) { response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "gzip"); response.Filter = new GZipStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress); } else if (encodingsAccepted.Contains("deflate")) { response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "deflate"); response.Filter = new DeflateStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress); } } }
The issue is that, even though this works just fine for views and every action result, the attribute isn't working for stuff on the /Content
folder of the project. I was wondering how I could make it so that files in the Content
folder use a controller, or are bound somehow or hooked by something that allows me to append these filters to the response header.
