Should I configure httpZip to cache dynamic pages such as ASP, ASP.NET, and CFM?
It depends on the role of these pages in your site. The operation of the httpZip cache is very similar to that of any other HTTP caching mechanism, and, as a general rule, dynamic pages make such caching more difficult. This is because HTTP caching is date-sensitive, while the content of a dynamic page can change without changing the file’s modification date — for example through a database query or server-side include. If you have dynamic pages that vary based on unique query string parameters or cookie values, you can enable httpZip caching for pages of that type, and then enable “dynamic caching,” which will cache a unique copy of the page each time it is requested with a new set of query parameters. The Cache dynamic content feature can be found under the Caching tab of the Settings Manager. Keep in mind that the httpZip cache is a server-side cache for compressed files; for browser and proxy cache control management, you will want to check out CacheRight.
