GZIP page

[mikker_123]

Can someone give me C# code example of setting TransferEncoding of one page to GZIP. I just want to GZIP one page... and let's say I have Page_Load event of that .aspx:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// what to write here? Is this below ok?

// HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);
// myHttpWebRequest.SendChunked=true;
// myHttpWebRequest.TransferEncoding="gzip";
}

tnx

.NET 2.0 has zipping built in. 1.0 and 1.1 do not. You can set the headers, but you can't actually zip the data without an external library. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Hmph... can you give me some insights onto this subject? Any links? Supposing that I have GZIP compressor what should I do next? Compress the stream and just Response.Write it?

Ok if anyone else finds this topic in similar search should look: -> http://www.blowery.org/code/HttpCompressionModule.html[^] (really cool thing) Best alternate idea (removing white spaces and reducing size of ur HTML that way, but results are by far worse than using HttpCompressionModule) -> http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/10/20/httpfilter.html[^] (author of Compression Module) -> http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/RemovingWhiteSpacesAspNet.asp[^] -> http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/WhitespaceFilter.asp[^] (C# version in comments) cheers
