Hi Garry, Those are great instructions for plain SVG files. Do you mind if I add a link to them from the SVG wiki?
The instructions aren't enough for .svgz files though. Simply adding the type image/svg+xml is for the .svgz filename extension is not enough. That will sort out the Content-type header, but not the Content-encodeing header, and the server has to send |Content-encoding: gzip| with .svgz files. Now that you remind me, it was *this* that I couldn't find a good solution to for IIS. So what I should have said is that IIS will be painful if you want to serve .svgz files.
