I have heard that if we use gzip, aspx files will be loading faster. But, I am not sure as to how to use it in my web applications. I am hosting my site with GODADDY (ASP 2, IIS 7) Can anyone tell me if I will be able to use gzip? Can you give me a sample file where gzip is used?
View 4 Replieswe're looking to compress our gargantuan JavaScript files with GZip to speed up the page loads of our site. I know this can be done through IIS, but I can't seem to find a simple step-by-step guide on how to implement it.We're running IIS7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to compress video files by using gzip in asp.net.
View 1 RepliesProject: Asp.net 2, MSVS VB.net
Hoster: Windows, Shared environment
I ran firebug (via Firefox) with googles speed test, and I got two major issues come back to me, and I sent two questions to my hoster.
1) MY QUESTION TO THE HOSTER1: Css, Js image files loaded to browser and cache from my hoster go up the request process with out the lastmodified data, and thus the browser cache does not know when to refresh the files on expiration date?
MY HOSTER RESPONSE: LastModified is a script that can be implemented to your java coding (ME: I think hes confused here, I dont use java) which you need to enter yourself. It is not a server function that we can modify on our side but it is something that you will have to change your website coding.
2) MY QUESTION TO THE HOSTER2: Firebug results said that GZIP is not activated for my files of CSS, js and asp.net pages, why not?
MY HOSTER RESPONSE: Currently, you are using Windows environment hosting services which does not support gzip. gzip is available on our Linux environment hosting plans as gzip is mainly for Linux OS.
After falling off my chair, I have to ask, what can I do via coding on my asp.net2 vb.net project? I thought these two issues were purely server related and nothing to do with code with the project? What do I do, or is my hoster wrong ?
i have made an .aspx page of c# in folder named as "USERPANEL". Also placed all my js in "js" folder and css files in "css" folder & all these pages are placed under "USERPANEL" folder same location where i have create a page. If i would placing the css on the page itself then it's working but not loading any external stylesheets. why? below is code as i am attaching the fontawesome file placed in fonts folder.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "fonts/font-awesome.css" runat="server"/>.
How I Can Underestand That My WebSite Uses Gzip Compressing?[URL]
View 1 RepliesI want enable Gzip compresion inasp.net
I tried by adding following lines in web config
<system.webServer>
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%inetpub
tempIIS Temporary Compressed Files">

Using GZIP in asp.net application...
I have tried searching on google... we put some code in global.asax and web.config.. but not working..
Actually we have series of images named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg & 5.jpg.
when i delete 2.jpg, then i rename 5.jpg with 2.jpg. But all this happens on server & on page load it is displaying 2.jpg from temporary files, not from server.
Solution is in two ways:-
1. either I will make page not to save any images on client's system(in temporary internet files).
2. or i will have to delete all images from temporary internet files.
I am not good at IIS management.I enabled gzip compression for my web site but In IIS Temporary Compressed Files folder,i dont see any aspx type file.I just see js,text,css and some html files.Is that normal?Why dont i see aspx pages as compressed.Thats my metabase.xml and i think that my settings are true.
IIsCompressionScheme Location ="/LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate"

i implement this library in my applicationhttp://www.dominicpettifer.co.uk/Blog/17/gzip-compress-your-websites-html-css-script-in-codeit Works very well if i run the site in Visual Studio but when i compile my site and publish in IIS it only Gzip ASPX files not CSS or JS files.does anyone knows a better way for implement JavaScript and CSS Gzip in C# 2005 (changing the IIS its not an option it has to be in the code)
View 1 RepliesI am running a website using IIS6 and i wrote a simple generic handler which return smaller images when it receive image url as query string. My problem is that the server is applying gzip to some file types such as .aspx and .ashx. And that made my response image from the handler appear with lower quality because they are compressed.
How can i disable gzip for just this handler file, i hope for a solution without editing the IIS.
I'm trying to create an HTTP gzip/deflate module, but when I'm trying to get the Accept-Encoding header it returns null, I tried in IE8, FF, Chrome and Opera.
View 2 RepliesI have an asp.net page which has 4 grid views connecting to mysql database for data population. The average response time for a round trip to the server is 20.55 seconds. That is way too much time. I have since applied the HTTP Compression GZip to improve the speed,I don't see any improvement in load time. Ive also used pagination, but no effect.
View 3 RepliesI got gzip working, but there are issues with IE. (works fine with FF and Chrome) Message: ASP.NET Ajax client-side framework failed to load. (and many other js related errors)
How can I prevent gzip compression on ie browsers ?? Other people who had similar issues enabled compression in IIS and that seems to solve the issue, but I can't do this on my discount machine...
This is what I use:
HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)sender;
string acceptEncoding = app.Request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];
Stream prevUncompressedStream = app.Response.Filter;
if (acceptEncoding != null && acceptEncoding.Length != 0)

The problem is that it now tries to find the file at http:serverMainWebSiteScripts....
How can I work around that? Should I put all my scripts and CSS files into the root directory, is that a preferred solution?
I've been working on this for a while and was wondering if anyone has run into the issue of error 404 on IIS. More specifically, when I type in http://localhost/test/test.aspx, the page runs, but the referenced files (JS and CSS) are not being used.
View 3 RepliesI am developing a website in ASP.NET and I am using various javascript frameworks/libraries. The different files belonging to these frameworks/libraries rarely changes thus there is no reason to refresh those files once they have been sent to the client browser (atleast not everytime a page is served).I see that the HttpContext object can be used somehow, that I can set the content expiration on the files/folders on the IIS, or maybe setup somekind of caching in the web.config file. 1. What is best practice/what approach should I take
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to merge several JavaScript files being used on a site into one? I'm looking to do this to minimize server loads by forcing only one download. This way I can keep my JavaScript organized into separate files and still have efficiency.
View 2 RepliesI am developing in asp.net mvc and using multiple javascript files.eg jquery, jquery-ui, google-maps my own js files etc.for performance should i combine these into one?if so how?
View 4 RepliesI recently ran yslow on a page i have (master paged etc) and it returned that there were far too many javascript files included (most of which I haven't added).
I guess my question is that given i have v1.0.20229.0 of the toolkit.dll (over .net 2)
I'm wondering if subsequent releases have fixes for this sort of thing?
If you have too many javascript file includes with a compositescript in a script manager you get this error..."The resource URL cannot be longer than 1024 characters. If using a CompositeScriptReference, reduce the number of ScriptReferences it contains, or combine them into a single static file and set the Path property to the location of it."
I know how to fix this using a plane old asp:scriptmanager (use script manager proxies). But how do I fix it using a ToolkitScriptManager?
<ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager ID="GeneralScriptManager" CombineScripts="true" CombineScriptsHandlerUrl="Utility/CombineScriptsHandler.ashx" runat="server" AsyncPostBackTimeout="480" EnablePageMethods="true">
<CompositeScript>
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="JavaScript/jQuery/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" /
... A whole lot more script references here
</Scripts>
</CompositeScript>
</ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager>
UpdateI've tried doing this with the script combiner included in the sample application. I think it's right, but I've been wrong plenty of times before... No luck though.Another update So, I thought that maybe if I included multiple CompositeScript blocks within the single ToolkitScriptManager it might create them all as separate files. Nope. Still get the same error. No one has any ideas? When I Google "toolkitscriptmanager cannot be longer than 1024 characters" this StackOverflow question is the number 1 result...
