Hello.
I am using HttpContext.RewritePath to direct request to inner site folders depending from request and host.
Problem:
When I do any request that requires RewritePath for any static file that is cached and GZIPped by IIS, I get in response original non-compressed file content with Content-Encoding: gzip header, which leads to “Content decoding has failed” error.
But when I do same request but with full directory path (in that case RewritePath is skipped in my code) I get right gzipped content with Content-Encoding: gzip.
E.g.:
Situation with error:
Request url: localhost/lib/ext_3.4.0/resources/css/ext-all.css
Request path is rewrited using HttpContext.RewritePath to: localhost/_sites/mainSite/lib/ext_3.4.0/resources/css/ext-all.css
First response is not gzipped - usual IIS behavior. When I press ctrl+F5, I get “Content decoding has failed” error. By using Fiddler2 I can see that response content is not gzipped and it contains Content-Encoding: gzip header.
Situation without error:
Request url: localhost/_sites/mainSite/lib/ext_3.4.0/resources/css/ext-all.css
Request path is not rewrited because it is not needed.
First response is not gzipped again. When I press ctrl+F5, I get normal file content. By using Fiddler2 I can see that response content is gzipped, size is 5 times less and it contains Content-Encoding: gzip header.
I can't throw away RewritePath and I need IIS gzip. Is there any way to make them friends?
