Ok, I've been reading for hours about this. Dozens of SO posts and blogs, etc. No answer to be found. Goal: enable dynamic http compression of json response from my WCF service.Note: gzip already works for static content and for dynamic content when applicationhost.config contains the following:\[code\]<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"> <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" /> <dynamicTypes> <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" /> <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" /> <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" 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></system.webServer>\[/code\]Unfortunately on the server I'm using the following line is missing from applicationhost.config:\[code\]<add mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" />\[/code\]And I cannot add it manually because the server is an AWS EC2 instance launched by Elastic Beanstalk (as such I could change it on one instance but not on all instances whenever they are launched).Also unfortunately, the applicationhost.config includes this line:\[code\]<section name="httpCompression" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />\[/code\]Which means that I cannot override the httpCompression section in my app's web.config.My question: are there other approaches to enabling gzip compression of dynamic content that I should try?If overrideModeDefault="Allow" would I then be able to place the httpCompression section in my app's web.config and expect it to override?Happy to add further clarification if needed.Cheers
