ENABLING GZIP FOR FASTER DOWNLOAD

ENABLING GZIP FOR FASTER DOWNLOAD OF WEB PAGE.


Zombi note :The HTTP/1.1 protocol allows for clients to optionally request the compression of content from the server. The standard itself specifies two compression methods: “gzip” and “deflate” Both are supported by many HTTP client libraries and almost all modern browsers.


Enabling gzip at IIS Manager
At IIS Manager (inetmgr.exe) open Web Sites Properties, at Service tab mark Compress application files & Compress static files.
Zombie note :You need to right click the web sites rather than going into specific site and click properties of perticlar website.

Now you need to edit one xml file as below
c:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml file.




Zombie note : Before Editing Metabase.xml file stop IIS Services or enable Direct Metabase Edit at Web by going into the peroperties and WEB02 dialog box will appear and check mark the “ENABLE DIRECT METABASE EDIT.”

Edit Metabase.xml with text editor and locate the following lines:
HcFileExtensions
HcScriptFileExtensions
Both of thes keys are mentiond twice in Metabase.xml, for gzip ompression and deflate compression, add the file extention fo gzip compression.

FOLLING SHOWS HOW IT WILL LOOK LIKE

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

HcCompressionDll="%windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"
HcCreateFlags="1"
HcDoDynamicCompression="TRUE"
HcDoOnDemandCompression="TRUE"
HcDoStaticCompression="TRUE"
HcDynamicCompressionLevel="0"
HcFileExtensions="htm
html
txt
xml
css
js"
HcOnDemandCompLevel="10"
HcPriority="1"
HcScriptFileExtensions="asp
dll
exe
aspx
php"
>



To enable or disable gzip per web site
cscript C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/site#/root/DoStaticCompression False
cscript C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/site#/root/DoDynamicCompression False
adding file extention to be compressed can be preformed with this command:
cscript C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set W3Svc/Filters/Compression/GZIP/HcFileExtensions "htm" "txt" "doc"


CHHERS…NOW TRY TO BROWSE YOUR SITE AND VOOOIIILLLAAAA,IT IS FASTER THAN BEFORE….ENJOYYYYY

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!

401.1 Unauthorized with windows authentication error code 0xc000006d

How many of you have faced this hosting issue when you do everything what it takes to run the site with windows authentication but still you are getting the same error again and again? If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

Sitecore SXA "Add here" button not available and not able to move components from experience editor

 Hi Folks, Hope you all are doing just fine and getting yourself vaccinated and staying home, Today i would like to share one information or a scenario which we encountered last week. Scenario We are using Sitecore SXA (Version is not important here as it will same for all), and one of our content author logged a bug that, they neither able to see "Add here" button on specific place holder nor they are able to move the component on the page in different location, Move option was disabled, and they wanted to have a freedom of moving component here and there and also "Add here" is a vital functionality to add component to specific place holders.   Troubleshooting With my surprise as i have never seen this behavior before,  1) I first check their access rights but they had all of needed permissions and they were able to do things normally before. 1) I started looking into place holder restriction and different settings of allowed renderings to see if there are no such ...
