IISxpress is a compression plugin for the IIS web server found on Microsoft Windows 2003, Vista, Windows XP Professsional and Windows 2000. IISxpress couples the industry standard ZLIB compression library with a powerful rules engine to offer the best compression solution available for IIS.

IISxpress 2.2 is now available, here is a quick rundown of the new features:

• The Status Window General tab now shows the number of compression cache hits alongside the other stats.
• Responses that were served by the compression cache are now shown with blue text in the history trace window.
• Selecting a response in the history trace window now allows you to specify exclusion rules based on that response, you can exclude its extension, content type, location and many other things.
• The console application now allows you to exclude individual files from compression. For example you can tell IISxpress to not compress just the file /images/banner.jpg and allow all other files in that directory to be compressed.

IISxpress supports both 32 bit Windows and 64 bit Windows 2003, Vista and XP Professional running on AMD 64 bit or Intel EM64T enabled processors.

And now the best part, If you deploy IISxpress on a non-commercial or non-governmental web server then you can take advantage of our Community License and use it for free!
