In my web.Release.config I have three transformations defined:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.web>
<compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(directory)">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(dll)" />
</httpCompression>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Both previewing transformation applied / publishing shows that only the compilation tag is being transformed.
Can't understand why httpCompression / scheme tags stay unchanged?
Here's an excerpt from the original web.config contents:
<httpCompression directory="%TEMP%\iisexpress\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%IIS_BIN%\gzip.dll" />
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="image/svg+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="text/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/javascript; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/atom+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/xaml+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
</staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
#lexeme your code is incorrect. Please try this code below:
<system.webServer>
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />

I have a WCF service hosted on IIS10 server.
IIS10 Compression not working when set through Web.config of project .
But Works when set through applicationHost.config. i want to compress json data.
Here im talking about dynamic compression.
Here is my projects' Web.config's compression part(whatsoever i do can't get iis honour these mime types):
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" staticCompressionLevel="9" />
<dynamicTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/json" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
</dynamicTypes>
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/atom+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/xaml+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
</staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
And here's my applicationHost.config(only setting mime type here works)
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" minFileSizeForComp="1000">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" />
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/atom+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/xaml+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="image/svg+xml" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
</staticTypes>
<dynamicTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/json" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" />
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
</dynamicTypes>
</httpCompression>
please tell me if there's any understanding deficit on my side.
I would like to know how compression setting at project level works.
thanks
I have an ASP.NET application running on an azure website using the standard tier. I have been trying to get gzip compression working on it. I've modified my web.config file and added the following under system.webServer
<urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true"/>
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
<dynamicTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
</dynamicTypes>
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
</staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
This works when running locally with IIS express but does not work when deployed to azure. The response contains the following headers.
Accept-Ranges:bytes

We are migrating from IIS 5.1 to IISExpress on developer machines. We have ASP .NET app which also hosts some .asmx webservices.
When using IIS 5.1 we can access wsdl using following URL
http ://localhost/MY_PATH/Service/WebServiceName.asmx?wsdl
However when I use IISExpress I can see all pages of my application successfully but when I try to see wsdl(http ://localhost/MY_PATH/Service/WebServiceName.asmx?wsdl) I get following error.
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.
Most likely causes:
The request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the static file handler. If there were different pre-conditions, the request will map to a different handler.
Things you can try:
If you want to serve this content as a static file, add an explicit MIME map.
Detailed Error Information:
Module StaticFileModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070032

You likely do not have the static content role installed in IIS express. See this question and answer for a similar problem/resolution and see if it helps you:

You have attempted to run a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow executables to run.
All my .aspx pages are still working fine.
I am trying to remove one directory from being gziped as it causes errors on the browser.
Here is the code I have. I've read that I can't disable one page only, but there is a way to disable a directory path. I don't have access to server settings, but maybe I could do it from web.config settins by removing or adding a path to staticTypes?

Please advice
I'm trying to set my default page to Index.html on an ASP.NET site running on IIS7.5. I keep getting a 404.4 which tells me that a handler is not set up. However, I have a <handler> and an <httpHandlers> value set up for my html pages. I've also specified the default document. Yet I keep getting a 404.4.
I CAN browse to myuri/index.html but I can't get it to load as the default.
Any suggestions?

For handling static content in iis 7.5, you need to register mime type via the following element in web.config file within element. I am mostly used for mp4 videos withot it 404.4 error arises.
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4" />
<!-- for html may be -->
<mimeMap fileExtension=".html" mimeType="text/html" />
</staticContent>
Taking a step back....where are you setting the default document?
If you set it in web.config, then you are saying that the ASP.Net runtime will/should handle .html extension. In other words, web.config pertains to ASP.Net.
Have you set the default document in IIS?
If its just a static file, there is no need for ASP.Net to even be involved - IIS should handle htm/html files out of the box.
What we ended up doing was splitting the project. Our goal was to have a service backend with a think JavaScript front end. Some of this is to try out different patterns and ideas we have. I'm writing the service and my friend is writing the front end. After talking about it, they don't need to be in the same project.
That is, I'll create an API and he'll create a client that can be hosted anywhere. With that in mind, my site will now just do API work, and will not need to deliver any html as a default page.
