Stripping HTML comments before sending to client
Hey,

I'm looking for a way to have HTML comments stripped
from my server's response before it's sent across to the
client. Basically like this:

Code:
|-----------------|                  |----------------------|
|                 |                  |                      |
|  file on server |  --------------> | data sent to client  |
| (with comments) |                  |  (no comments)       |
|                 |                  |                      |
|-----------------|                  |----------------------|


Any thoughts are appreciated, and any appreciation of
my text art is welcome!

Thanks!

Is this question somehow related to IIS?

Well, I figured if it's possible it has to be a server setting and
the server I'm using is IIS. Sorry if it should be somewhere else.

I don't know of any such IIS setting, but that doesn't mean such a setting doesn't exist.

There isn't a setting for that. You'll have to implement it via an ISAPI that handles the outgoing response and does a Regex string operation to remove them.

However, if your pages are already *.asp or *.aspx files, you can do a quickie by replacing this:

Code:
 <!-- this is an SGML comment -->


With this:

Code:
 <%-- this is an ASP comment --%>


You can easily replace them using some kind of site mangement software that supports "Find and Replace in Files"

"<%--" is the ASP syntax for an ASP comment. You can also use language-specific comment delimiters

Such as:

Code:
 <%'VBScript comment %>
 <%//JScript comment %>
