HTTP Compression in IIS 6 - vs Third Party Solutions

Question

Anyone had any experience with httpZip product (ISAPI - based compression for IIS). I'm wondering if this is worthwhile compared to the native compression in IIS6... Pros / Cons / pitfalls of either approach?

Answer 1

The website itself tells you to use native IIS6 except for specific reasons. If a company is telling you not to use their own product, they must have done the comparison themselves and not come out favorably. It is refreshing for a company to actually look out for its users like that... If you need the features, use the product, otherwise look their configuration product.
