Compress¶
Compressing the Response before Sending it to the Client
The Compress middleware enables the gzip compression.

bytes. - The
Accept-Encoding
request header containsgzip

response header is not already set.
Configuration Options¶
excludedContentTypes
¶
excludedContentTypes
specifies a list of content types to compare the Content-Type
header of the incoming requests to before compressing.
The requests with content types defined in excludedContentTypes
are not compressed.
Content types are compared in a case-insensitive, whitespace-ignored manner.
