Hi There,

I am trying to generically compress data between a thick windows client and
a web service (thanks to
http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe?A2=ind0203A&L=DOTNET&P=R47498)

In order to do this I have created an HttpModule that adds a compression
filter to the response stream. All looks fine. The problem I am having is in
generically decompressing the data on the client side.

Essentially I need a handle to the response stream that arrives on the
client side. I can't seem to find any way of hooking into this process? The
web proxy doesn't seem to allow one to chain into the response before it
processes it.

Thoughts? How are people compressing Datasets between server and client? The
performance increases that we have seen are pretty large for an average
sized dataset!

hmmm, I am wondering whether I could target the datasets directly and
instead create a dataset subclass implementing a custom
serialiser/deserialiser involving compression/decompression.

Thanks,
- Carl
