in the following location:

  File: http://<localhost>/iishelp/iis/htm/core/iifeats.htm
  Section: Internet Standards

  HTTP Compression: Provides faster transmission of pages between the Web server
  and compression-enabled clients. Compresses and caches static files, and
  performs on-demand compression of dynamically generated files.

NOTE: All HTTP Compression-related metabase property explanations are also
invalid. These are all the properties whose name starts with "Hc."
