Dale, Yeah that is what I thought, just hadn't use it for a long time past trying it on Windows 2003 all those years ago, so was going from memory.
So Steve, that means you need to set the option to compress static and dynamic pages then. And from memory Dale correct me if I am wrong again, you need to add the dynamic extension support ie. Include .cfm, .cfc etc to the options for it to work on IIS6.0. Btw if anyone has Vista installed, Business or Ultimate you'll love the new IIS7.0 and when installed you are actually running the full version and not a PWS. Just a FYI for those who wanted that feature so long ago. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

You are correct, Port80's httpZIP was built for IIS5, when IIS6 came out it included this feature. The issue is configuring it in IIS6 is difficult and requires some manually editing and knowledge, the IIS6 version is mearly a configuration tool, but still probably worth it for the price.

Steve, As Dale said it does make a difference but not sure if it is actually better than IIS6.0's inbuilt compression, as does the proof of concept that I blogged however unlike the HTTPZip I haven't found away to control the level of the compression. Actually come to think of it, correct me if I am wrong Dale. Doesn't HTTPZip use the IIS6.0 compression and just provide extra functionality. I recall something like this when I tested in on Windows 2003 when it was released. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

The browser needs to support it in the first place, I know IE does, not sure about other browsers.
