What is HTTP compression and does it work I was thinking of enabling this on
my iis6 server but wasn't sure what it would do.



Please help or provided info sources for to me have a better understanding.

I have also found some 3rd party tool
http://port80software.com/products/httpzip/ but I dont think I want to use
3rd party ware.

Well talking to myself i cee i can do this:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3Svc/Filters/Compression/GZIP/HcFileExtensions
"htm" "html" "txt" "ppt" "xls" "xml" "pdf" "xslt" "doc" "xsl" "htc" "js"
"css"

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set
W3Svc/Filters/Compression/DEFLATE/HcFileExtensions "htm" "html" "txt" "ppt"
"xls" "xml" "pdf" "xslt" "doc" "xsl" "htc" "js" "css"

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set
W3Svc/Filters/Compression/GZIP/HcScriptFileExtensions "asp" "dll" "exe"
"aspx" "asmx" "ashx"

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set
W3Svc/Filters/Compression/DEFLATE/HcScriptFileExtensions "asp" "dll" "exe"
"aspx" "asmx"

IISreset.exe /restart

Let me ask you's does PHP on IIS that would be a Script File Exet Correct?

Once... More.
Take a look at this:

HTTP Compression on IIS 6 will compress static data with the extensions
specified.  However, compression will only take place if requests are made
to the webserver using HTTP1.1.
