IIS 6.0 Gzip Compression in aspx page

Question

I am not good at IIS management.I enabled gzip compression for my web site but In IIS Temporary Compressed Files folder,i dont see any aspx type file.I just see js,text,css and some html files.Is that normal?Why dont i see aspx pages as compressed.Thats my metabase.xml and i think that my settings are true.

IIsCompressionScheme Location ="/LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate" HcCompressionDll="%windir%\\system32\\inetsrv\\gzip.dll" HcCreateFlags="0" HcDoDynamicCompression="TRUE" HcDoOnDemandCompression="TRUE" HcDoStaticCompression="TRUE" HcDynamicCompressionLevel="10" HcFileExtensions="htm html xml css txt rdf js" HcOnDemandCompLevel="10" HcPriority="1" HcScriptFileExtensions="asp cgi exe dll aspx asmx" > /IIsCompressionScheme>

Answer 1

The settings seem to be ok. I've done this a lot in the past with good success. How are you checking if it is working or not?

Follow the guide at http://alexkuo.info/archive/2009/10/28/55.aspx for how to do this, or edit metabase.xml directly (after you enable editing of it).
