I made an observation about the verbosity of SQL Azure AtomPub OData responses in my recent Querying OData.org’s SQL Azure Northwind Sample Data Service post.
Scott Hanselman made this comment on 3/30/2010: "If you compressed the OData with GZip, it'll be as small or smaller than JSON..."
To which I replied: I agree, but despite that Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate header, the SQL Azure OData response isn't compressed.
The question is, of course, why not?
