Is it OK to add the axd extension for IIS' HTTP compression?

Question

I have enabled IIS 6's built in HTTP compression for the following types of files:

    HcFileExtensions="htm
        html
        txt
        css
        js"

    HcScriptFileExtensions="asp
        dll
        exe
        aspx
        asmx
        ascx"

I am unclear however if it's appropriate to add the axd extension so that my WebResource.axd files will be compressed.

Lastly, are there any other obvious extensions for an asp.net 2.0 site that I may have missed?

Answer 1

This article says there a potential problems using compression with the web resources axd extension. The author recommends excluding this extension from any compression.
