Gzip compression issue on iis 8.5

Sachin Singh

The problem is as soon as i recycle the app pool Gzip starts working but after 2-3 minutes it again stops working ,testing with google chrome (in response header not getting Gzip) or any tool says Gzip is not enabled.

But when i again recycle the app pool ,it starts working.

what might be the issue. Please if anybody have faced it then any help would be appreciated.

This is my web.config

"%SystemDrive%\websites\_compressed" minFileSizeForComp="1024">
"%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" name="gzip"/>
"true" mimeType="text/*" />
"true" mimeType="message/*" />
"true" mimeType="application/javascript" />
"true" mimeType="application/json" />
"true" mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" />
"false" mimeType="*/*" />
"true" mimeType="text/*"/>
"true" mimeType="message/*"/>
"true" mimeType="application/javascript"/>
"true" mimeType="application/json"/>
"true" mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" />
"false" mimeType="*/*"/>

atlast i had to create a custom attribute that uses GzipStream (System.IO.Compression) and it worked.
if (acceptEncoding.Contains("GZIP"))
           {
               response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "gzip");
               response.Filter = new GZipStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
           }

Godaddy support team says Gzip is enabled from our end and we can not do anything more than this.
Is it possible that due to application issue , something on server gets disable?

I am not able to solve this issue for last 9 days.
How can something automatically be enable and disable on server?
