Tag: compression

James Manning left a comment on my blog post about compression, pointing to a Microsoft article about built-in decompression support in .NET 2.0 for SOAP replies. While I appreciate the comment, Yahoo APIs don't use SOAP, so it won't be helpful in that context. However, this information could be useful for working with Amazon APIs, which do have a SOAP interface.

I'm considering compressing Yahoo Search results from my proxy, as suggested in a Yahoo Developer Blog post. I'm unsure if it's easy, worthwhile, and where to implement it (client-side or proxy-side). I'll need to handle browsers without compression support. Any advice?
