DoDynamicCompression Metabase Property
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
The DoDynamicCompression property performs the same function as the global HcDoDynamicCompression property, but it is used for enabling and disabling static content compression at the individual site or site element level.
Before you can use DoDynamicCompression to customize compression at the site or site element level, at least one compression scheme (gzip or deflate) must be enabled in the HcDoDynamicCompression property at the IIsCompressionScheme level. This setting determines which compression schemes IIS will support for dynamic content: gzip, deflate, or both.
You can either enable compression of dynamic content server-wide and then disable it at specific locations, or you can disable compression of dynamic content server-wide and then enable it only at the locations you specify. For more information about these two approaches, see the HcDoDynamicCompression Metabase Property.
