HTTP compression

[Kasper Bergmann]

After reading Todd Anglin's blog post about optimization using HTTP compression, I googled around. There are some solutions available, but some of them are also doing what RadScriptManager and RadStyleSheetManager already do (combining scripts/stylesheets in one compressed file), so I am not sure if there is a benefit of using those solutions doing double compressions of script and css files. Others seem to have issues with handling AJAX callbacks properly.

So it would be great if you could make a kind of RadHttpCompressionManager to complement the two other managers ensuring that the compressed output is compatible with your controls - this would be a perfect addition improving your excellent suite of controls.

Hi Kasper Bergmann,

I'm happy to inform you that next version of the RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX suite will feature a compression module. More information can be found at my colleague Vlad's blog here.

I tried it, but it does not work with Medium Trust mode.

The error:

Security Exception

Hello Sam,

Indeed you are right about the described behavior. However I'm happy to inform you that our developers  managed to address this problem. The fix will be available in next official version of the RadControls for ASP.NET  AJAX or you may download it from the Latest Internal Builds section of your account next week.

Please excuse us for the temporary inconvenience.

Kind regards,
