Hello All,
  We are using .Net 1.1 as a web service client behind a proxy. To solve connection issues, we have followed advice in this forum and others and added

  request.KeepAlive = false;
  request.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10;

to our code, which worked and solved our problem. Now to improve performance we are trying to get Decompression to work. In .Net 2.0 it is very easy, just add EnableDecompression=true, but in 1.1 there are some hoops to go through. We found the answer at http://basildoncoder.com/blog/catego...coding/dotnet/
This works but only if we do not set
  request.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10;

Is there a way around this or do we have to choose between compression or a connection that works?

Thanks for any insight,
Richard

The solution is to edit the metabase.xml and change HcNoCompressionForHttp10 to be false. Then restart the IIS server.
