Quick Tip: C# GZip content
A quick post with a simple trick that let us reduce instantly every Ajax interaction over our C#.NET application: [-] public void GZResponse() { if(-1 Response.AddHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip"); Response.Filter = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream( Response.Filter, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Compress ); } } The good part is that precedent code, whenever we were using Response.Write, became automatically compatible. Above code could be used to serve JavaScript or css files too: [+] public void GZResponse(){} [-] protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { GZResponse(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "text/javascript"); Response.WriteFile("jquery.min.js"); } That's it :-) P.S. for file serving I suggest a cache system for pre gzipped files
