    <p>Has anyone successfully <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/avkashchauhan/archive/2012/03/05/enableing-gzip-compression-with-windows-azure-cdn-through-web-role.aspx" rel="noreferrer">configured Azure CDN for HTTP compression</a> using their hosted web role? We are having trouble compressing HTTP content at the Azure edge servers. The CDN is only caching the uncompressed version of the content. </p> <p>If we hit our resource link (<em>webresource.axd</em>) from a non-Azure approach it compresses via gzip (<em>using the xxxx.cloudapp.net/cdn/webresource.axd</em>) as expected. However, as soon as we point our resource link to Azure CDN (<em>xxxx.vo.msecnd.net</em>), the content is served up uncompressed, despite the browser telling the Azure CDN it accepts gzip.</p> <p>I <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazuredata/thread/a88c31ff-3890-4b25-a7eb-3ee59f2193d3" rel="noreferrer">posted this same issue to Azure Forums</a>, but nobody has responded as of yet.</p> <p>While troubleshooting the problem, it appears that the Azure CDN is stripping out the <strong>Accept-Encoding</strong> HTTP header. Just curious if others have had this same issue.</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2011/03/18/best-practices-for-the-windows-azure-content-delivery-network.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Azure CDN Best Practices states...</a></p> <blockquote> <p><strong><em>How does the Windows Azure CDN work with compressed content?</em></strong></p> <p><em>The Windows Azure CDN will not modify (or add) compression to your objects. The Windows Azure CDN respects whatever compression is provided by the origin based on the "Accept-Encoding" header. As of 1.4, Azure Storage does not support compression. If you are using hosted-service object delivery, you can configure IIS to return compressed objects.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>What we are seeing is that the CDN is not respecting the origin <strong>Accept-Encoding</strong>, it's being stripped away.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
