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.
