<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve spend the last few days building a .NET
implementation of a gzip packer. It accepts an argument like either of
these two:<o:p></o:p></span></font>

font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font>

font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It will also accept a semicolon-delimited list of files and
will stream them back as a single file.<o:p></o:p></span></font>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I took Dean Edwards packer, updated the .NET implementation,
and used the built-in gzip library to perform the compression.<o:p></o:p></span></font>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The basic idea is that you can have fully readable,
uncompressed javascript as a resource in your assembly or saved in a directory
on your website. When you run the website in debug mode (Cassini server)
the files are not minified. In a production environment, the source files
are minified, gzipped and cached on the server.<o:p></o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I did some testing and it appears to be working very well
for me, although the jQuery source file was only compressed down to 16.5kb
(instead of 14.5kb). This may be due to the MS implementation of Gzip,
but I’m not sure.<o:p></o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I can’t host this for download on my company’s
website for various reasons, but I’d happily send the source code and
binaries (strong-named for use in the GAC) to anyone who wants it.<o:p></o:p></span></font>
