Looking For The Best HTML+CSS Compression Methods?
Sep 12, 2010
I have an ASP.NET web application and I'm thinking about the following: before sending any HTML or CSS content to users, I wish to 'compress' them, then cache the result and send that to the clients.I know it is possible to compress these by removing whitespaces, comments and stuff like that, but I'm not really familiar with more advanced solutions for this.
Apart from this, what compression methods are there and what are the advantages of each of them?Does some browsers or the HTTP protocol itself support any kind of compression?
EDIT: I'm interested in doing this to dynamically-generated HTML, too.

I'm tring to implement what Steve Souders discusses [URL] about forcing gzip compression
I've got a module that's running this:
[code]....
CompressionUtils.GzipSupported just checks for the 'accepts-encoding' header while
CompressionUtils.GzipSupportedExplicitly and CompressionUtils.GzipNotSupportedExplicitly check for the cookie saying whether the browser really can read gzip
But when I load a page in Firefox I get this error:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
and in Fiddler it shows that the content-encoding header has been added but the content hasn't been compressed

I have a compression module built based on several examples on the web. Initially, I hooked into the BeginRequest event of the application context to conditionally compress certain file types. This seems to have worked fine for JS and HTML, but CSS was giving me trouble. Here are the specific steps I could take to reproduce the problem consistently.

It's a little unclear for me on when to use a custom helper method and when to use RenderAction and also when to simply use ViewData instead. Some of their functions overlap slightly.
For example, if I were to create a Category navigation bar, would I create a new helper method and place that in some partial view? I had initially though of doing this, but I read on some blog to use RenderAction instead.
Assume the list of categories is coming from some data source.

I'm getting around 50% compression using System.IO.Compression and I think it could/should be getting around 75% by setting the compression level higher. Is there a way to improve the compression level or should I be looking for a different solution?

I am new to MVC. why HTML helper methods are inside asp server tags?
for example <%=Html.Textbox("Textbox1")%>
are they equivalnet to asp.net web form server tags. Like in web forms we have
<asp:TextBox runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
If someone can kindly explain.

I have an extension method as follows:
public static class PageExtensions
{
public static int GetUserId(this Page targetPage)
{
var user = Membership.GetUser(targetPage.User.Identity.Name);
return (int)user.ProviderUserKey;
}
}
Now in a page I need to use this method in a static WebMethod, so I have added another 'extension method' to PageExtensions:
public static int GetUserId()
{
return (int)Membership.GetUser(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey;
}
and I call it as follows in my WebMethod: PageExtensions.GetUserId()

My pages are automatically being compressed by IIS7 with GZIP. but, for one particular page, I need to stream it to the user, using Response.Flush() when needed. But when the output is being compressed, the IIS server seems to collect all my output until the page is done before compressing and sending it to the client. That nullifies my attempt to Flush the content out to the user.
Is there a way that I can have this one page opt out of the compression?
One possible option
I've determined that if I manually set the content type to one that does not match the IIS configuration at c:windowssystem32inetsrvconfigapplicationhost.config, then IIS will not compress it. Eg. Response.ContentType = "x-text/html". This works okay with IE8, as it falls back to display the HTML. But Firefox will ask the user what to do with the unknown file type.
This could work, if there was another Mime Type I could use that browsers would accept as HTML, that is not matched in the applicationhost.config. For reference, these are the mime types that will be compressed:
[code]...
Others options?
Are there other options to opt out of compression?

I am beginner in web applications development. I started one little project and host it on source forge "https://homoco.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/homoco". And I started implementing authentication in this application to learn how it works. From my experience people never use out of the box things so I want to implement this stuff alone (like in real world projects). So some questions:
1) Is there any reason to use membership out of the box? To use database table schema, stored procedures etc. that tool generate for developer. I think that this lower control over code and I decided to implement it my self. I don't know if I am right.
2) Is my approach in this demo project good or bad (if someone have time I like to do just a little code review)? I created database based on business rules. Not using database schema that membership provider require. Extend "MembershipProvider" class to satisfy my needs. Implement queries to database myself.
3) Now, this question is a little wired but I have to ask it. If we make custom Membership Provider and do sql queries alone, implement all MembershipProvider class methods ourselves, and in application use Membership.blabla() why is this approach different from not extending MembershipProvider class and putting all this methods in some unique class and call its methods then? I hope that someone understand what I ask here.
I am sorry for three questions, but I really trying to find the best way to implement this feature in my demo project like it is a real world application.

I had an interview Thursday and one questions that I was asked in the technical interview was a little confusing.
First, he asked me about Viewstate and I explained to him what all that entailed.
He then asked me what happens if the data you are putting into the Viewstate gets to big.
I told him you could then use Sessions or start storing things in the Database.
He said, what about Data Compression? I immediately responded by saying, yes you can use Serialization/Deserialization to store/retrieve the data (i'm using that in my open source project).
When he says "Data Compression", is he talking about "Serialization" or is this something different?

I have trouble with JSON response compression. I look to response headers after uploading website to production server (Windows 2008, IIS 7) and found uncompressed response. Turning on "Enabled static compression" and ""Enable dynamic compression" in IIS control panel does not effect. ASPX pages was responsed gzipped, but webservice response uncompressed.
I looked to google, but no answer found about this trouble. Also, I try this [URL] way (and adding to web.config this module) - but this source is excellent working at development machine with ASP.NET development server (and have seven times response size reduced) and totally ignored at IIS7.
How I can apply gzip compression to json responses from my webservice?

I have an application with a FileUpload control. The code behind saves the uploaded file (which I've stipulated in the code must have a ".jpeg" extension) to the webserver's hard disk. Details about the image, such as its ID, Title, Description and Upload date are saved in an MS SQL Server database. Nothing difficult here.
What I'd like to do instead... is take the uploaded image (which will be a "large", high-quality image), save this as above but ALSO dynamically resize and resample a copy of this image and store a thumbnail of it on the webserver hard drive as well.
I can't find a post which explains how to do this in this forum group. Can anyone point me in the right direction for an answer. I am using Visual Studio 2008, ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Basic.NET 2008.

I need to enable compression to speed up my site.However, I only found way to do it via action filter which requires me to put [compress] action filter to every actions.such as; [URL]aspxThis is quite lots of work and I may miss an aciton which is not desiable.So, is there a way to enable compression site level? I mean, by changing config or put code in request handler to support compression.Also, action fileter approach doesn't compress javascript or css.How do you support compression? Is there a way to support it?I heard that there is a way to do it via IIS, but my hosting site doesn't support this.

I have an ASP.NET web application that has HTTP compression enabled (through IIS settings). One of the features of the app involves creating multiple text files and packaging them as a single zip file to be downloaded by the user.
With HTTP compression enabled, the files created by the application are zipped twice - once by the web application and once more by HTTP compression; with the result that when the user downloads the zip file, it has 1 file which is the application generated zip file, and this second zip file has the original contents.
My requirement is to disable HTTP compression only for the zip file. How do I achieve this? The file extension "zip" is not included in the metabase file for compression.

I have a bunch of internet devices which communicate with my MVC app on IIS 7.5. I'm currently using the built-in dynamic transparent compression (gzip/deflate).
I'd like to be able to support a different compression algorithm, which does a lot better than gzip (7zip) for the content I'm sending/receiving.
In other words, on the client I will add the header: accepts: gzip, deflate, 7zip (or similar), and the server will recognize this, and apply the best choice when sending the content.
What's the best way to go about hooking this all together? (I know how to implement the actual 7zip encode/decode aspect)
