Fixed a possible directory traversal with Plack::App::File on Win32.

CPANSA-Plack-2014-0801 (2014-08-01)

Plack::App::File would previously strip trailing slashes off provided paths. This in combination with the common pattern of serving files with Plack::Middleware::Static could allow an attacker to bypass a whitelist of generated files

Fixed directory traversal bug in Plack::App::File on win32 environments

NAME

Plack::Middleware::Deflater - Compress response body with Gzip or Deflate

SYNOPSIS

enable "Plack::Middleware::Deflater";

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, whcih means the server should support HTTP/1.1 chunked response or downgrade to HTTP/1.0 and closes the connection.
