IIS 7.5 updates to custom errors and compression
Feb 16th
Looking at number of people reaching my first blog post while searching for information on IIS 7.5, I figured I should do few more posts on changes which are coming in IIS 7.5. In this blog post I am covering new features which have been added to compression and custom errors modules in IIS 7.5.
Changes to custom errors
Changes to compression in IIS7
Jun 13th
Compression module provides IIS the capability to serve compressed responses to compression enabled clients. Clients which can accept compressed responses send Accept-Encoding header indicating compression schemes they can handle. If IIS can compress the response using a compression scheme which client can understand, IIS will send a compressed response with Content-Encoding response header indicating the scheme which was used to compress the response.
So request response look something like
REQUEST: **************
GET /static/index.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\r\n
Host: localhost\r\n
Accept: */*\r\n
\r\n
RESPONSE: **************
HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n
Content-Type: text/html\r\n
Content-Encoding: gzip\r\n
