Overview

This middleware enables content encoding of http responses, usually for purposes of compression.

Currently supported encodings:

  • gzip

  • identity (no transformation)

This middleware automatically detects when encoding is supported and allowed. For example no encoding is made when a cache directive of ‘no-transform’ is present, when the response status code is one that doesn’t allow an entity body, or when the body is empty.

Note that despite the name, Deflater does not support the deflate encoding.

Class Method Summary

Instance Method Summary

Constructor Details

.new(app, options = {}) ⇒ Deflater

Creates Deflater middleware. Options:

:if

a lambda enabling / disabling deflation based on returned boolean value

(e.g <tt>use Rack::Deflater, :if => lambda { |*, body| sum=0; body.each { |i| sum += i.length }; sum > 512 }</tt>).
However, be aware that calling {body.each} inside the block will break cases where {body.each} is not idempotent,
such as when it is an {IO} instance.
:include

a list of content types that should be compressed. By default, all content types are compressed.

:sync

determines if the stream is going to be flushed after every chunk. Flushing after every chunk reduces

latency for time-sensitive streaming applications, but hurts compression and throughput.
Defaults to {true}.

#should_deflate?(env, status, headers, body) ⇒ Boolean (private)

Whether the body should be compressed.
