NAME

    Mojolicious::Plugin::Gzip - Plugin to Gzip Mojolicious responses

STATUS

SYNOPSIS

      # Mojolicious::Lite
      plugin 'Gzip';
    
      # With minimum size in bytes required before gzipping. Default is 860.
      plugin Gzip => {min_size => 1500};
    
      # Mojolicious
      $app->plugin('Gzip');
    
      # With minimum size in bytes required before gzipping. Default is 860.
      $app->plugin(Gzip => {min_size => 1500});

WARNING

    This module can be inefficient for large static files. It loads the
    entire file into memory and then gzips it, resulting in both the
    original file and the gzipped one in memory at once. By default,
    Mojolicious serves static files from disk, which is much more memory
    efficient. For static files, you may want to compress them ahead of
    time or use something like a reverse proxy with Nginx
    <https://www.nginx.com/> to serve your static files or a service like
    Cloudlfare <https://www.cloudflare.com/>, which will compress files for
    you. For gzipping dynamic content, you should consider using "compress"
    in Mojolicious::Renderer instead.

DESCRIPTION

    Mojolicious::Plugin::Gzip gzips all responses equal to or greater than
    a "min_size" by using the "after_dispatch" in Mojolicious hook.
    Mojolicious::Plugin::Gzip will only gzip a response if all of these
    conditions are met:

      * The "accept_encoding" in Mojo::Headers header contains 'gzip'.

      * The "body_size" in Mojo::Content of the response is greater than or
      equal to "min_size".

      * The "code" in Mojo::Message::Response is 200.

      * The "content_encoding" in Mojo::Headers for the response is not
      set.

    Mojolicious::Plugin::Gzip will do these things if those conditions are
    met:

      * Set "body" in Mojo::Message to the gzipped version of the previous
      "body" in Mojo::Message.

      * Set "body_size" in Mojo::Message to the size of the gzipped
      content.

      * Set "content_encoding" in Mojo::Headers to "gzip".

      * If "etag" in Mojo::Headers was set, append "-gzip" to the existing
      "etag" in Mojo::Headers. This is done according to RFC-7232
      <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232#section-2.3.3>, which states
      that ETags should be content-coding aware.

      * Use "append" in Mojo::Headers to append "Accept-Encoding" to the
      "vary" in Mojo::Headers header.

OPTIONS

 min_size

      # Mojolicious::Lite
      plugin 'Gzip' => {min_size => 1500};
    
      # Mojolicious
      $app->plugin(Gzip => {min_size => 1500});

    Sets the minimum "body_size" in Mojo::Content required before response
    content will be gzipped. If the "body_size" in Mojo::Content is greater
    than or equal to "min_size", then it will be gzipped. Default is 860.
