I need to compress json response, I have tried IIS dynamic compression and used below code to compress but compression is not working it always Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8, Gzip headers are properly send to server. I have tried the code below.There is nothing in failed request tracing. Please suggest a solution.
class CompressFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
HttpRequestBase request = filterContext.HttpContext.Request;
string acceptEncoding = request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(acceptEncoding)) return;
acceptEncoding = acceptEncoding.ToUpperInvariant();
HttpResponseBase response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;
if (acceptEncoding.Contains("GZIP"))
{
response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "gzip");
response.Filter = new GZipStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress,true);
}
else if (acceptEncoding.Contains("DEFLATE"))
{
response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "deflate");
response.Filter = new DeflateStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
}
}
}
I have this settings in web.config file
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" staticCompressionLevel="9" />
