Using http modules for compression

[Rich]

Can some please point me towards any articles about using HttpModules
for compression of soap requests/responses?

I want to be able to compress the whole soap packet if possible.

Thanks

Hi Rich

We have some info on our HttpModule here:

http://www.intesoft.net/aspaccelerator/

This includes a client helper-class to make it easier to add support for
compression to the WS client classes (see:
http://www.intesoft.net/aspaccelerator/help/webserviceclient.html)

If you don't want a commercial offering there is an open-source
HttpCompression module here (Ben Lowrey's):

We are using the blowery module to compress aspx responses. It's quite good.
We go from around 500kb response (don't ask) to 70kb.
I imagine you will get similar results with aspx.
