I'm trying to enable GZip compress for SVG in an Azure Web Site using web.config transforms without success. Here is what my transform looks like:
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.webServer>
<httpCompression>
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="image/svg+xml" enabled="true" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
<staticContent xdt:Transform="Insert">
<mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
This should both add the mime type for SVG, which Azure doesn't seem to have, and then enable compression. I've verified the mime type addition works fine, but upon publishing I get an error for the compression elements:
No element in the source document matches '/configuration/system.webServer/httpCompression/staticTypes'
Removing the compression from the transform and adding it directly to my web.config file removes the error, but I still don't see the compression in the HTTP headers. Here are the response headers:
Accept-Ranges:bytes
Content-Length:23265
Content-Type:image/svg+xml
