HcNoCompressionForRange Metabase Property
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
The HcNoCompressionForRange property specifies how IIS handles HTTP Range requests. The HTTP 1.1 Request for Comment, RFC 2068, is ambiguous about whether Range requests apply to the compressed or uncompressed version of a file. Some browsers could be unprepared for compressed Range responses. As a result, IIS, by default, does not send compressed responses to Range requests, to avoid problems with browser misbehavior.
