Compress

    The Compress middleware uses gzip compression.

    Info

    Responses are compressed when the following criteria are all met:

    • The Accept-Encoding request header contains gzip.
    • The response is not already compressed, i.e. the Content-Encoding response header is not already set.

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

    Configuration Options

    specifies a list of content types to compare the Content-Type header of the incoming requests and responses before compressing.

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