Enabling HTTP 1.1 compression

Hi All,

Has anyone tried to use HTTP 1.1 compression with Web services? We've set up
our IIS 6 box to use HTTP 1.1 compression as described by the following
article, http://www.businessanyplace.net/?p=wscompress We also set up our
proxy class according to the same article.

On the client side, I downloaded SharpZipLib to perform the decompression.

I was hoping that by following the steps described in the article I could
get compression to work. What I'd like to do is compress large datasets on
the server and send them to the client app. I liked this solution because it
didn't require much changes that needed to be made.

However, after setting everything up, I get the following exception...

'', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.

It appears as if the compressed data is not being decompressed. I can't help
but feel like something is missing. Does anyone have any experience using
compression with Web services to return large typed dataset?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Paul
