class Marten::Middleware::GZip

Overview

Compresses the content of the response if the browser supports GZip compression.

This middleware will compress responses that are big enough (200 bytes or more) if they don't already contain an Accept-Encoding header. It will also set the Vary header correctly by including Accept-Encoding in it so that caches take into account the fact that the content can be compressed or not.

Instance Method Detail

def call(request : Marten::HTTP::Request, get_response : Proc(Marten::HTTP::Response)) : Marten::HTTP::Response #
Description copied from class Marten::Middleware

Calls the middleware for a given HTTP request and returns a HTTP response.

This method must be implemented by subclasses: it takes a request argument (the current HTTP request) and a get_response proc that allows to get the final response. This proc might actually call the next middleware in the chain of configured middlewares, or the final matched handler. That way, the current middleware have the ability to intercept any incoming request and the associated response, and to modify them if applicable.
