IISxpress Forums

Guys great product.

We are currently testing this app.

We would like to be able to exclude a particular file (avatars.aspx) from being comrpessed.  I realize we can remove a directory (URI) but I'm looking to just not compress that file.

Our application is using ISAPI elements to generate a dynamic jpg from the avatar.aspx page.  IISxpress actually does well with the dynamic compression when the file is generated but we already do compression on the image delivery. That file lives in the root of our app and we are hoping to justs exclude that from the compression list.

Let me know.  Also, great API, once we have it installed and working i'll send over the stats for you to see.

 

Hi Jimiz,

File level exclusion is the next major feature we are working on for the next release of IISxpress. The IISxpress compression engine already supports this feature internally, but there is no user interface in 2.1.

I have created a modified version of the IISxpress console application (versioned as 2.1.1.13) which will allow you to specify file exlusion rules, you can download it by clicking here.

The MD5 checksum of the ZIP file is 34d06516f212dd347d307d39f5c7b759. The executables in the ZIP file are signed by Ripcord Software.

You use it as follows:

• To add a rule: iisxpress add file c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.aspx
• To remove a rule: iisxpress remove file c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.aspx
• To list rules for a given path: iisxpress list file c:\inetpub\wwwroot
• For command line help: iisxpress help

All paths must be relative to the root of the drive where they are located. If you exclude static content then remember to flush the IISxpress compression cache before testing that the rule works ok.

Let us know how your testing goes!

That is a fantastic response.  Thank you.  I will push this out later today.  I was really hoping you would have an answer. 

The software is great, I have used native compression in IIS for a few years, but you never know the value / performance you are getting.  I like the fact that I can evaluate the compression ratio.

Also, I have to sent you guys some $$ to purchase and get off the trial.

thanks
