IIS 6.0 Compression + xml http

[VP]

Hi,

When I send a request to a dynamic page with xmlhttp object, the response is
not cached. This is due to the fact that IIS 6.0 will set the cache expiry
date for the response as January 1, 1997 while compressing. Thus loosing the
cache.

I tried giving Response.Cache.SetExpires to future date. Caching is
achieved, but IIS skips compression. I need to have both for performance.

I looked for gzipping the output, but couldnt find a way in .NET framework
1.x.

Any lights on this issue?
