I know Scott means well, but the Blog entry is not totally correct...
You could just come talk with the IIS folks and we'll set the record
straight. :-)
Web Service Extension for gzip.dll is unnecessary for compression
functionality.
If you edit metabase.xml but do not have "Edit While Running" enabled, then
your changes are invalid, by-design.
Compression works as soon as you toggle those two check boxs in the IIS
Manager UI and restart IIS. If you want more extensions to apply to each
compression scheme, edit the metabase list properties for each as
appropriate.
It is really pretty easy; just no UI for any of it. adsutil.vbs is your
friend. I also have chglist.vbs to allow you to easily manipulate the LIST
properties from the commandline.
