Question

I have enabled GZip compression via web.config with many helps from another question: Enable IIS7 gzip

I have tested the compression with Live HTTP Headers plugin in FF, and it correctly shows

Content-Encoding: gzip

I have added the following code to my web.config:

<system.webServer>
  <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
    <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"/>
    <dynamicTypes>
      <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
    </dynamicTypes>
    <staticTypes>
      <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
    </staticTypes>
  </httpCompression>
  <urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true"/>
</system.webServer>

But is it correct that this code only compress the javascripts and not the CSS, Images and ASP documents?

Apparently I’m just not that bright… It does zip everything after all 😉
