Why is IIS 7.5 seeing some requests as HTTP/1.0?
- by Zhaph - Ben Duguid
While trying to work out why Static File Compression wasn't working on one of our IIS servers, the error was coming back as "NO_COMPRESSION_10" which translates to:
Server not configured to compress 1.0 requests
Looking at the requests in Fiddler, I can see that I'm requesting HTTP 1.1, but everything is being sent back as HTTP 1.0:
Request (from chrome, captured via Fiddler):
GET /css/reset.css HTTP/1.1
Host: [-----].com
Connection: keep-alive

Other servers with the same host that I'm running this site on all respond with HTTP/1.1.
How can I persuade IIS to respond with HTTP/1.1 rather than HTTP/1.0?
Edit to add:
Digging deeper, I can see that some responses from the server are indeed being returned compressed, so I guess really I'm trying to work out why talking to this particular server from our office seems to result in it seeing 1.0 requests, while other servers at the same co-loc don't?
