title: http handler compression over iis
body: <p>I found this article <a href="http://archive.webproasp.com/webproasp-27-20080620CompressingWebResourceaxdtoReduceYourWebsiteSize.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://archive.webproasp.com/webproasp-27-20080620CompressingWebResourceaxdtoReduceYourWebsiteSize.html</a></p>
  
  <p>and it explains how to compress axd files (and js files).</p>
  
  <p>I wondered if there is any advantage in doing this over letting IIS handle the compression.</p>
