dynamic compression iis 7

Hi,

I have turned on dynamic compression running an asp.net application and i
don't see any compression taking place? Am i missing something.

I also ran these command:

C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:urlCompression
/doDynamicCompression:true
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appCmd set config -section:httpCompression
/dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage:50
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appCmd set config -section:httpCompression
/dynamicCompressionEnableCpuUsage:30

but still didn't see any changes when i look at the output of the source,
nor is there anything sitting in the temporary compression folder.

My cpu usage is sitting at close 0% to 5%.

what have i missed?

Thanks

RE: dynamic compression iis 7

Hi Gary,

Have you also set dynamicCompressionLevel and dynamicCompressionBeforeCache?

dynamicCompressionLevel controls the CPU hit and algorithms used for
compression. The first algorithm is executed if the level is set from 0 to
3, another from leve 4 to 9, and another at level 10.

When dynamicCompressionBeforeCache is set to false, IIS puts the
noncompressed response into output cache. Then every time that the response
is requested, IIS dynamically compresses the cached response as it is sent
to the client. When it's set to true, IIS dynamically compresses the
response the first time a request is made. The default value is true.

So you may change these 2 settings in applicationHost.config file and test
again.

If still no avail, please update here. I will help review your config file
to address what the problem is.

Have a great week.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Re: dynamic compression iis 7

according to this document
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms689496(VS.85).asp x

the dynamicCompressionBeforeCache default is false, not true.

Also, rather than edit the applicationHost.config file directly; do you have
the appcmd(s) syntax for things i should try for the same results?

one other thing, maybe i've got some confusion. I am looking for the
compression results to remove mostly the white space from the html source
returned to the browser...am i correct? Isn't that what the compression is
supposed to do?

Also some of my pages are html, but some are generated programaticly as aspx
files. So whatever settings i make, they need to work for both.

Thanks,

Gary

Compression does a LOT more than "remove mostly the white space".

Dynamic Compression is "dynamic", on the fly, so nothing will EVER
show up in the Temporary Compression folder. Static Compression items
will show up there -- you can treat that folder as a disk-based cache
for static compression results, and dynamic compression is not worth
caching since it can dynamically change.

IIS will NOT send back a compressed response UNLESS the client
indicates that it supports it, along with IIS being configured to send
compressed responses.

Dynamic compression is enabled on IIS7 by default, so I suspect you
are either using a client that is not asking for compressed content,
or you are not looking at the raw HTTP RESPONSE with the client.

Can you provide the raw HTTP REQUEST you are using which does not have
compressed response, and please verify that you are looking at raw

Re: dynamic compression iis 7

Compression is a part of content-encoding, and web browsers will only
show you the final data stream after all content-encoding, transfer-
encoding, and lower-layer transformations have been unwrapped. Thus,
you cannot use the web browser to validate compression.

The exact same logic applies to:
- SSL -- view->source doesn't show you the encrypted data
- Transfer-Encoding: chunked -- view->source doesn't show you the
chunked response entity

Compression does NOT alter your HTML content to strip out whitespace
and sending that altered HTML. That is not "compression" but rather
"compacting".

Compression does something better, which is to transform your HTML
content to something that usually takes far less bytes to transfer,
send that over the wire, and the remote user agent (i.e. browser)
knows how to decompress and retrieve the original HTML content, with
all the whitespaces losslessly preserved.

Of course, Compression depends on the remote user agent being able to
decompress, which may not be the case for mobile phones -- in which
case the "compacting" of whitespace is a possible alternative.

What do you mean by "raw" http response. I'm looking at the "source" within

Re: dynamic compression iis 7

Thanks, I have learned something!

Do you know if iis7 has a compacting algorithm built in as well?

Did iis 6 have the compression?

and sending that altered HTML. That is not "compression" but rather
"compacting".

Compression does something better, which is to transform your HTML
content to something that usually takes far less bytes to transfer,
send that over the wire, and the remote user agent (i.e. browser)
knows how to decompress and retrieve the original HTML content, with
all the whitespaces losslessly preserved.

Of course, Compression depends on the remote user agent being able to
decompress, which may not be the case for mobile phones -- in which
case the "compacting" of whitespace is a possible alternative.

Re: dynamic compression iis 7

IIS 6/7 supports compression and ships with a configurable
implementation.

IIS also supports compacting but there is no shipping feature. People
tend do compacting with "source obfuscation" programs that take an
input website and produces an output website where all whitespace are
compacted, variable names in scripts shortened and obfuscated, etc. So
there is no need to waste CPU cycles for compacting -- the source HTML
is always compacted.
