What is the difference between httpZip and ZipEnable?
httpZip provides ISAPI-based HTTP compression for IIS 4/5/6.0 on Windows NT/2000/2003 Web servers, while ZipEnable is a configuration tool to manage and safely deploy the built-in compression engine in IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003. There are many flavors of IIS, and Port80 Software covers HTTP compression on all Microsoft Web servers. Compression does not exist natively on IIS 4, so httpZip is the perfect solution for a Windows NT performance boost. On IIS 5, httpZip replaces the flawed and limited ISAPI compression option, overcoming known IIS 5 browser incompatibilities and configuration bugs for a supercharged Windows 2000 Web server. With the launch of Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0, Port80 Software recognized that Microsoft made compression functionality a priority and evaluated IIS 6.0’s native compression. IIS 6.0 ships with a robust compression engine built into the core Web server code, allowing for safe and fast HTTP compression with almost zero resource penalties. As part
