Ripcord Software Announces IISxpress 2.1
Ripcord Software, a developer of software tools forMicrosoft s Internet Information Server (IIS), released IISxpress 2.1. IISxpressis an HTTP compression plug-in for IIS 5, 5.1, 6, and 7. As an extension to IIS,IISxpress compresses all response content, including AJAX,ASP.NET, and ASP-based Web sites.
HTTP compressionis effective in reducing downloaded page size. ASP.NET developers are alwayswary of the size of viewstate passed to clients; compression mitigates theseconcerns by compressing the client response data to the smallest possible sizefor transmission. This is even more compelling for AJAX-based sites because XML-basedcontent can be reduced to up to 10% of its original size.
Key product features include:
IISxpress offers real-time compression tracking.
Highly configurable rule engine: exclude contentby file extension, MIME type, URI, or network address.
Intelligent compression: the compression enginetracks previous performance and will avoid compressing content where there willbe no significant gain.
Platform friendly: if the CPU is busy with othertasks, IISxpress will reduce the priority of the compression tasks to maintainserver responsiveness.
Key 2.1 features include:
Full support for IIS7 on Windows Vista.
Compression cache: previously compressedresponses are stored in the compression cache, allowing for fast responsetimes.
Processor Workload Model: select CPU cores touse for compression tasks, keeping others free for other duties.
IISxpress is free to use on all Workstation versions ofMicrosoft Windows, including Vista, XP, and 2000.IISxpress is free for non-commercial and non-government use on all WindowsServers, including 2003 and 2000. Otherwise, IISxpress is US$50 per installed server.
