A whitespace removal HTTP module for ASP.NET 2.0(madskristensen.dk)

submitted by madskristensen(8565) 5 years, 7 months ago

A plug n’ play HTTP module that works simply by adding the class to the App_Code folder. It uses regular expressions to identify and remove the unnecessary whitespace from the current .aspx web page. The overhead from this module is almost too insignificant to even measure.

The benefits will also probably be too small to measure with most browsers supporting gzip and IIS supporting gzip out-the-box.

In addition providing minimal benefit, it will, in certain cases cause problems in the output pages. I tried it a couple months back and ended up ditching it after a few minutes. If I recall correctly, it created some problems with inline javascript, which doesn't like having certain whitespace removed. As the previous poster alluded to, the real bang for your buck is in gzip compression, which can easily be added to your entire site, or selective pages:
