Port80 Software Launches httpZip, Accelerating Windows Web Servers with the Most Effective and Affordable Compression Software on the Market.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 2002 Port80 Software, Inc., an innovative developer of software modules for Microsoft's Internet Information Server See IIS. (World-Wide Web) Internet Information Server - (IIS) Microsoft's web server and FTP server for Windows NT. IIS is intended to meet the needs of a range of users: from workgroups and departments on a corporate intranet to ISPs hosting websites that receive (IIS (Internet Information Services) Microsoft's Web server. IIS runs under the server versions of Windows, adding HTTP server capability to the Windows operating system. ), launches httpZip: new software that accelerates Web sites with HTTP compression HTTP compression is a capability built into both web servers and web browsers, to make better use of available bandwidth. HTTP protocol data is compressed before it is sent from the server: compliant browsers will announce what methods are supported to the server before downloading , reducing bandwidth costs, speeding up page downloads, and serving more users from existing hardware. httpZip is the most inexpensive (US $299 per single server) and effective acceleration software on the market for Windows Web Servers, transparently compressing Web pages up to 98% using encoding algorithms supported in all modern browsers. ISPs, hosting providers, corporate data centers, and any software application or Web site delivered over the Internet on Microsoft platforms will benefit from httpZip's industry-leading compression rates and performance enhancements. "Given today's bottom line focus, businesses invested in Web infrastructure are looking to save time and money, do more with less resources, and provide higher levels of service simultaneously," said Joseph Lima, COO of Port80 Software. "httpZip is the ideal cost-cutting and efficiency solution for any company with Microsoft-based Web sites or Web applications, employing safe HTTP compression, carefully tested white space and comments removal, and a compression cache for quick serving of pre-compressed pages. No other software on the market today for Microsoft IIS Microsoft IIS - Internet Information Server can compress more for less." A powerful IIS server module, httpZip is robust compression software that reduces page sizes to as little as 98% of their original size using the popular GZip and Deflate compression deflate compression - deflate algorithms. httpZip takes compression even farther by employing optional white space removal and other forms of safe HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents.

(cascading style sheet cascading style sheet Noun computing a file recording style details, such as fonts, colours, etc., that ensures style is consistent over all the pages of a website ) compression to improve performance and combat hackers' source sifting. With httpZip's built-in cache, pages can be accessed in pre-compressed format, minimizing unnecessary recompression. The result is faster, more efficient page loads, reduced transmission costs and Web servers that can handle more volume. Unlike IIS' built-in HTTP compression feature, httpZip selectively encodes content and addresses browser incompatibilities right out of the box. The software can be completely customized to adjust compression rules for particular files, directories, data types and more to ensure an optimal user experience. httpZip provides both a standalone- and an MMC-based interface for server administrators, as well as a COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. interface for ASP, .NET and ColdFusion developers looking to directly control compression for their Web pages. With 70-98% average savings, the best compression rates on the market, httpZip is fast, powerful and will easily pay for itself by reducing bandwidth costs and dramatically improving network response time for Web pages -- speeding up e-business transactions and enhancing overall user experience. httpZip is a fast, robust IIS module that can be installed and configured in less than two minutes. It is easy to configure, has a small memory footprint Memory footprint refers to the amount of main memory that a program uses or references while running. This includes all sorts of active memory regions like code, static data sections (both initialized and uninitialized), heap, as well as all the stacks, plus memory required to hold , and is based on a super fast ISAPI filter with no noticeable server performance impact. httpZip runs on Windows NT, 2000 and XP with IIS 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1 and is compatible with major third party server-side scripting platforms and other performance software like Port80's CacheRight. httpZip is available for a free 30 day trial download and $299.95 for a permanent single server license at www.port80software.com.
