HcNoCompressionForHttp10 Metabase Property

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The HcNoCompressionForHttp10 property disables compression for requests containing an HTTP 1.0 version number. HTTP 1.0, as described in RFC 1945, provides a minimal level of support for certain types of compression. However, some confusion exists around HTTP 1.0 compression, especially with regard to proxy servers. To minimize the chance of inappropriately returning a compressed file to a client that cannot decompress it, you can use this metabase property to disable compression in questionable scenarios.
