Article on CodeProject on adding a Zip filter to Web Services 

posted on Sunday, July 18, 2004 10:59 PM

[This](http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/WebServiceZipFilter.asp) is really a pretty slick way of adding Zip support to all .NET web service calls (which I've just noticed also references an [old post of mine](/archive/2004/04/06/958.aspx) yay!). Even though this is very slick, I still yearn for a way to apply a simple modification to the proxy class to support the native HTTP 1.1 compression stuff...anyone...?
