ZipEnable 3.0.2

HTTP compression speeds up file delivery across the Internet, keeps users happy with quick page loads, and reduces bandwidth costs.

Windows Server 2003 with Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 now offers the fastest Windows HTTP compression available for Web sites and applications. In fact, it’s arguably faster than any third party ISAPI solution.

Unlike the compression built into IIS 4/5 (Windows NT/2000), IIS 6.0 offers out-of-the-box compression embedded into the core code, allowing for extremely fast HTTP compression with minimal resource penalties.

While Port80 Softwares httpZip for IIS 4/5 is the best solution for Windows NT/2000 systems, we recommend that you use the internal compression engine in IIS 6.0.

The only major drawback with IIS 6.0 built-in compression is a lack of configurability via the Web server management interface. IIS 6.0 does not provide a graphical interface to most compression controls, and configuration necessities like site-level and schematic compression are only accessible via a labor-intensive programmatic interface. Dont waste time deciphering the IIS metabase and programming your own interface...

Port80 Software now offers native compression management for IIS 6.0. With ZipEnable, you have more than an "On/Off" choice and can granularly manage compression at the global, site, directory and file levels -- without writing a line of code or editing the metabase.

You can configure compression on all static and dynamic files, including both those that are compressed by default (HTML and ASP) and those that are not (JavaScript, CSS, Cold Fusion and PHP).
ZipEnable provides a configuration wizard to guide you through installation and deployment in a few minutes, is always accessible from the Start menu, and controls all tuning options.

If you are enabling compression on multiple servers or complex Web sites, ZipEnable safely manages IIS 6.0 settings to get the most out of HTTP compression on Windows Server 2003!
