Compressing a web service response for jQuery
- by SirDemon
I'm attempting to gzip a JSON response from an ASMX web service to be consumed on the client-side by jQuery.
My web.config already has httpCompression set like so: (I'm using IIS 7)
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" staticCompressionDisableCpuUsage="90" staticCompressionEnableCpuUsage="60" dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage="80" dynamicCompressionEnableCpuUsage="50">
<dynamicTypes>
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/css" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="video/x-flv" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-shockwave-flash" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" />
</dynamicTypes>
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/css" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="video/x-flv" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-shockwave-flash" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
</staticTypes>
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" />
</httpCompression>
<urlCompression doDynamicCompression="true" doStaticCompression="true" />
Through fiddler I can see that normal aspx and other compressions work fine. However, the jQuery ajax request and response work as they should, only nothing gets compressed.
What am I missing?
