Reduce the weight of stylesheets by 35% at runtime

madskristensen.dk — It is always desirable to produce the smallest amount of client-code at any given time. That includes HTML, JavaScript and CSS files. The more client-code you produce, the longer it takes to download and render the web page. This shows how to reduce CSS files by 35% at runtime using C#.

As has been pointed out by the sole comment on the original article, this implementation has a security hole allowing access to any files on the file system. It also tries to solve a problem that has been solved by using gzip compression in IIS.

The security hole has been fixed. Besides, if you don't have access to the IIS, then this is a very good solution

Besides the point raised by Mads which is valid, does gzip compression support cache or does it compress the data all the time every time?
