Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

This HttpModule uses classes that inherit from CompressingFilter. We already support gzip and deflate (aka zlib), if you'd like to add support for compress (which uses LZW, which is licensed), add in another class that inherits from HttpFilter to do the work.

This module checks the Accept-Encoding HTTP header to determine if the client actually supports any notion of compression. Currently, we support the deflate (zlib) and gzip compression schemes. I chose to not implement compress because it uses lzw which requires a license from Unisys. For more information about the common compression types supported, see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11 for details.
