### HcNoCompressionForRange

This metabase property specifies how IIS handles HTTP Range requests. The HTTP 1.1 Request for Comment, RFC 2068, is ambiguous about whether Range requests should apply to the compressed or uncompressed version of a file. It is possible that some browsers could be unprepared for compressed Range responses. As a result, IIS by default does not send compressed responses to Range requests, in order to avoid problems with browser misbehavior.
