Overview

This middleware enables compression of http responses.

Currently supported compression algorithms:

  • gzip

  • deflate

  • identity (no transformation)

The middleware automatically detects when compression is supported and allowed. For example no transformation is made when a cache directive of 'no-transform' is present, or when the response status code is one that doesn't allow an entity body.
