Is there any thing like mod_gzip for IIS 5.0 any thing close we use it on RedHat 6.2 and FreeBSD and it works great saves us over 75% of our bandwidth but have a lot of Windows servers and would like to have some thing for them as well.

Some thing like a plug-in for IIS 5.0

Hi,

On iis 5.0 there is something like HTTP compression,
It zips up the file in transmission which is uncompressed at your web browser before opening up the page,

I am not sure as to how effective it is bcos my server is iis 4.0 so i really dont know
But

This is what you need to do,

No harm in trying, it says requires fast cpu, but i think u will be fine with even a decent P3 compatible machine

I hope this helps ;)
