Compress data on server and uncompress on client?

[Guest]

I have a dynamic xml file that needs to be downloaded periodically to the
client from an ASP.Net application. This file can be rather large, but it
zips up very small. Does anyone know of a simple way that I can compress the
file from my ASP.Net server code and then uncompress it from client jscript
to read it? Maybe there is an IIS setting that automatically compresses
data. Any suggestions?

Dave,

I am wondering how many people are using this and if all browsers can handle
compression well. Any issues?
How much speed improvement can you get out of this.

How novel -- MSDN now considers me a reference instead of the other way
around. Very well:
