I was testing something with
IIS 7, by default
IIS 7 compression module is way different and easier than the one presented within
IIS 6.
My goal was
compressing javascript files with IIS7. However, my story was kinda weird. First, i had to check default collection of
ApplicationHost.config file and noticed that mime type configuration presented'ike below.
- text/javascript
- application/x-javascript
- application/javascript
Although text/javascript was coming first, i had trouble with
IIS7 to compress
javascript files. Then after examining ApplicationHost.config file below:
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\websites\_compressed" minFileSizeForComp="0">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" />
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
</staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".jpg" mimeType="image/jpeg" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".js" mimeType="application/x-javascript" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".jsx" mimeType="text/jscript" /
I had to modify web.config for text/javascript to be default selection for mime type for js files.
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".js" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".js" mimeType="text/javascript" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
