Why doesn't the .NET implementation of Web Services support GZIP compression? I've found a couple of articlesdescribing how to implement it, but I'll have to do a bit of digging (my Reference.cs doesn't have the mentioned methods...).

I'd have thought that Web Services were about the single most obvious place to support compression...grr...anyway, I'll post any progress I have... UPDATE: Man, I should read these articles properly...it's an override...the method isn't in Reference.cs - look, I have a cold, be kind! So, I'll just write a little proxy class which the Reference.cs can inherit from instead to support compression using the excellent SharpZipLib to provide the compression services...I'll of course make my new proxy class available here...
