Does enabling static and dynamic content compression in IIS 7.5 work for compressing .NET 4 WCF Services?

Curious if I still need to do this when using IIS 7.5 and .NET 4: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/169112/WCF-does-not-support-Compression-out-of-the-box-so?display=Print

Thanks -

Yes it works. WCF 4 has new functionality (see support for HTTP decompression) which is automatically turned on by all standard HTTP based bindings. This functionality allows WCF based clients to automatically decompress incoming compressed responses.
