Overview

The <add> element of the <dynamicTypes> element adds a unique MIME type to the list of types that IIS 7 will compress dynamically.

Note

Unlike the IIS 6.0 HcScriptFileExtensions metabase property that defined specific file name extensions as 'dynamic content,' IIS 7 uses the <dynamicTypes> element to specify which MIME types IIS 7 will compress dynamically, and it uses mappings in the <handlers> element to specify which file name extensions refer to static or dynamic content.

Compatibility
