DESCRIPTION
Plack::Middleware::Deflater is a middleware to encode your response body
in gzip or deflate, based on "Accept-Encoding" HTTP request header. It
would save the bandwidth a little bit but should increase the Plack
server load, so ideally you should handle this on the frontend reverse
proxy servers.
This middleware removes "Content-Length" and streams encoded content,
which means the server should support HTTP/1.1 chunked response or
downgrade to HTTP/1.0 and closes the connection.
CONFIGURATIONS
content_type
content_type => 'text/html',
content_type => [ 'text/html', 'text/css', 'text/javascript', 'application/javascript', 'application/x-javascript' ]
Content-Type header to apply deflater. if content-type is not
defined, Deflater will try to deflate all contents.
vary_user_agent
vary_user_agent => 1
Add "User-Agent" to Vary header.
ENVIRONMENT VALUE
psgix.no-compress
Do not apply deflater
psgix.compress-only-text/html
Apply deflater only if content_type is "text/html"
