Has anyone here used IIS5's built in HTTP Compression successfully with ColdFusion 5 or ColdFusion MX? I was playing around with it this evening but interestingly enough the problem I'm getting is that some of my headers are now showing on the page. I have experienced an error like this before while using URLScan and changing the setting to hide what type of web server software is in use.
HTTP Compression does not support .CFM files by default, it must be modified in the metabase. I used the adsutil.vbs script to add the .CFM extension. Turning on the "Compress Application Files" option results in two headers being displayed on the HTML page. Turning the compress option off fixes the problem. I was playing with this setting on a development machine which has had A LOT of stuff installed/removed so sometimes these "problems" pop up. Tomorrow I'll do a quick test on a different machine to see if I get the same results. I was just curious if anyone here has managed to successfully get HTTP Compression working with ColdFusion and IIS. From what I've been able to tell in testing it seems like a very worthwhile thing to do. -Novak PS - I am already aware of PipeBoost and XCompress (3rd party ISAPI filters) but for the time being I'd prefer to have a free solution. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
