We would like to apply a higher compression level to any .aspx requests. How would I go about doing this? Is there a way to create an iRule that would read the content being .aspx and apply this higher level of compression while keeping the compression level in the profile the same for all other traffic?
Thanks!

you can use the COMPRESS::gzip command to specify the compression level: Click here
so you could try something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::path] ends_with ".aspx"} {
COMPRESS::gzip level 5
}
}
I don't recommend to go to 9 since it will use more CPU for not so much more compression

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { [HTTP::header Content-Type] ends_with "*aspx"} {
COMPRESS::gzip level 5
}
}
Now I didn't receive any errors but will this do what I'm looking for? Thanks again!
I thought errors might be because you were trying to call a serverside command (COMPRESS::*) in a clientside context (HTTP_REQUEST), but wiki page says it works in HTTP_REQUEST & shows an example.
Were you getting the "not valid in current context error" or ...?

I'm going to implement this today and see what happens. Thanks again for the help!

if this is the case you can do something like this:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set increase_compress 0
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::path] ends_with ".aspx"} {
set increase_compress 1
} else {
set increase_compress 0
}
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if {$increase_compress equals "1"} {
COMPRESS::gzip level 5
}
}
