Compression in WebApi hosted on Azure

Question

My Web Api is hosted on AzureWebsites and exposed through Azure Api management. I just wondering how the compression will be enabled in such scenario? Will it be something on azurewebsites or it should be done through Api management portal and HOW?

Answer 1

This should enable gzip on every IIS-compatible host:

<system.webServer>
    <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="application/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
      </dynamicTypes>
      <staticTypes>
        <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="application/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" />
      </staticTypes>
    </httpCompression>
    <urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" />
</system.webServer>
