GZip compression with WCF hosted on IIS7

Question

Everyone, as far as I\'m concerned the question is ansered in EDIT 2. Although it\'s only a partial solution to the IIS side of the problem, it\'s what I was looking for.

Answer 1

Just for someone else who may look in the future. We upgraded to Windows 2012 server and IIS 8. The old config compression mimetypes which worked for IIS 7 did not work for IIS 8.

So, I tried a couple of suggestions here, but nothing worked. I ended up just adding this to httpcompression dynamictypes: multipart/* and then gzip compression was working again.

Hope this helps someone else.
