The CF seems not supporting HTTP Compression (gzip or deflate) while calling
webservice, and calling a webservice throu a GSM connection or GPRS
connection is slow. We can do it with small code
(http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/tutorials.aspx?tutorialid=304). Does MS
planned to add HTTP compression support in the RTM for improving
performance, which is very important for that kind of device.

thank you

Fred.

We will not directly support HTTP compression for our RTM release. It
is conceivable, though not simple, to use the SOAP extension framework
to do some form of compression. I don't have much more to offer on
that, sorry.

Ok..you will not support HTTP compression, i can write my own C# code to
make HTTP request and decompress the response, but why
system.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageParser &
system.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageFormatter are private classes ? we
can't use them to parse soap enveloppe ? MS always they need to chosse wich
features are in CompactFramework because of memory size..etc.... Those
SoapMessage classes a private, and if i want to parse SOAP enveloppe i need
to re-write code..... :-(

Another question : how can i use DIME extension ???

Without HTTP compression and/or DIME extension , calling a webservice is
very unefficient. PocketPC is a mobile device, a mobile device wich need an
ethernet or Wifi card not a GSM connection.

I don't understand your logic...
