November 27th, 2006  New Feature - HTTP Compression Option for Transaction Monitoring Services

Customers using Application Monitoring services can now set the monitoring agent to require that the HTTP servers participating in a monitored web transaction send the requested data only in a compressed format. This new transaction monitoring feature will detect problems with server HTTP compression or with improperly compressed data and will notify webmasters about the problem. By introducing this feature, WebSitePulse gets even closer to simulating real end-user experiences and interaction with web transactions.
