Deploying Angular 8 Project after brotli compression

Viewed 1211

I have a project in Angular 8. I have referred to https://medium.com/@subodhkumarjc/angular-build-optimization-part-2-compression-b866dd0593c3 to implement bortli compression in my project since my main.js files were coming pretty big in size after normal build. After runing ng build --prod. I get the following set of dist files. File explorer view

Now, generally to deploy this in IIS I just used to do a simple copy paste from my current local dist folder to my web folder pointed by IIS in the server. But When I am trying to do the same thing, My browser is still loading the main.js file instead of the compressed main.js.br file.

Can anyone help me with what I am missing here while deploying.

Note: As of now, I have not done any changes with my IIS

try to add the below code in your web.conifg file:
