}

File (TOML)

Info

Responses are compressed when:

• The response body is larger than 1400 bytes.
• The Accept-Encoding request header contains gzip.

If Content-Type header is not defined, or empty, the compress middleware will automatically detect a content type. It will also set accordingly the Content-Type header with the detected MIME type.

Configuration Options

excludedContentTypes specifies a list of content types to compare the header of the incoming requests to before compressing.

Content types are compared in a case-insensitive, whitespace-ignored manner.
