Provides performance benefits to users of the DotNetNuke Portal Server
Apr 13, 2004 -- Perpetual Motion Interactive Systems Inc. today announced that Ben Lowery has contributed his immensely popular HTTP Compression module to the DotNetNuke Open Source Project. The "Blowery Compression Module" provides a simple, non-intrusive mechanism for improving the performance of the DotNetNuke application.
Ben Lowery has contributed the code to DotNetNuke under the DotNetNuke Sub-Project Grant policy. This means the project will be re-branded as the "DotNetNuke Compression Module" and will be licensed under the standard DotNetNuke BSD License - allowing the maximum freedom in both commercial and non-commercial environments.
"I am pleased to help bring the Blowery Compression Module to the open source community," said Shaun Walker, DotNetNuke creator and maintainer. "By accepting the Blowery Compression Module as a Sub-Project, we are taking a big step forward in providing some powerful performance benefits to users of the DotNetNuke application."
About the Blowery Compression Module
HTTP Compression is one of the most important things to consider adding to your ASP.NET application. It can speed up download times by about five times and saves on valuable bandwidth consumption. Although Microsoft IIS 6.0 provides embedded GZIP HTTP Compression support, many Hosting providers do not enable the option for their clients. The Blowery Compression Module enables you to leverage HTTP Compression on a site by site basis, allowing you achieve the maximum performance benefit for your website.
