Dynamic Compression not working IIS 7.5

Question

I currently have both static and dynamic compression configured. The static compression is working, however the dynamic compression, when checked through YSlow and Fiddler, is not working.

In my applicationHost.config, I have the following settings:

<urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="true" />
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" maxDiskSpaceUsage="100" minFileSizeForComp="256">
            <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" dynamicCompressionLevel="1" />
            <dynamicTypes>
                <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
                <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
                <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
                <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="true" />
            </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="true" />
            </staticTypes>
        </httpCompression>
<serverRuntime frequentHitThreshold="1" frequentHitTimePeriod="01:00:00" />

My web.config has:

<urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="true" />

The modules are installed, and when I use the Failed Request Trace, I get a couple dynamic compression hits, but nothing about success or failure. Just these types of results:

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 536870912 
fIsPostNotification false 
Notification SEND_RESPONSE 

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 536870912 
fIsPostNotificationEvent false 
NotificationStatus 0 
Notification SEND_RESPONSE 
NotificationStatus NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE 

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 256 
fIsPostNotification true  
Notification RELEASE_REQUEST_STATE 

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 256 
fIsPostNotificationEvent true 
NotificationStatus 0 
Notification RELEASE_REQUEST_STATE 
NotificationStatus NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE 

I am trying to get my aspx files to compress. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Are you sure you have Dynamic Compression installed in IIS? By default, it is not installed on Server 2008 (or R2). Try this article: http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/urlCompression
