I think you have something configured on the server that is disabling static
file compression for the URLs you're interested in.

The existence of those files shows that static file compression is
working... at least for the .txt extension served by the static file
handler.

I think you have an Application mapping for the static URLs that you think
should be compressed, making it "dynamic". Do you have ASP.DLL or
ASPNET_ISAPI.DLL mapped to those extensions?

Hi,
The problem still exists as mentioned earlier. Even after expiry of so
much time i am able to see only
"$^_gzip_D^^HOME^TRAVEL^PUBLIC_HTML^ROBOTS.TXT" files (4 in number)
and no files indicating .html extension. For example you can hit the
following url: http://www.indianbeachesportal.com
This domain is one of the many domains that exists on the server on
which we have configured the compression as described in earlier
posting.
Please try the URL and suggest the solution.
thanks
Rajiv
