Web Service Compression with .net 1.1 and gzip

[rew190]

Hi guys,

I'm currently working on an application that is heavily dependant on
web services. The web services are being run on an Apache Service
through Axis. We'll be using mod_gzip to get the server side of things
to compress the response (given that the header request specfies that
it accepts gzip encoding).

The application that will be consuming this service is a winforms .NET
1.1 application. I've been looking around for a few hours trying to
find a good example of how to set up the application to recognize and
unzip the file, but it looks like the majority of the articles are
written running under the assumption that you're using the 2.0
framework (more specifically, that you're using WSE 3.0 which you can
only use with 1.1). The only WSE version that is supported by the 1.1
framework is version 1.

Does anyone know of any good resources that show how
A) Add the "Accept-encoding: gzip" to the request header and
B) How to intercept the gzipped SOAP message and unzip it before
anything tries to process it?

Thanks for any help in advance!
