This is a creaky old IIS6 2003 server. The HTTP compression is turned on, but it had the defaults: htm,html and txt as static file types to compress and I wanted to add .js and .css, so I found this:
Microsoft Corporation
My real question is how do I know it's working? I'm looking at the cache directory, and although it contains some htm files there are no css or js, so I can only assume it isn't.
And from the other end, I'm looking at the network section in both IE's and Chrome's diagnostic tools, but I can't work out if anything indicates that it's downloaded a compressed version. For one HTM file it's telling me it's downloaded 43K, which is the original size and not the 5K version that's in the cache folder on the server - has that worked? Or is it reporting only the unpacked version?
Thanks for any help.
