compression

This example shows how to:

• automatically decompress request bodies when necessary
• compress response bodies based on the accept header.

Running

cargo run -p example-compression

Sending compressed requests

curl -v -g 'http://localhost:3000/' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Content-Encoding: gzip" \
    --compressed \
    --data-binary @data/products.json.gz

(Notice the Content-Encoding: gzip in the request, and content-encoding: gzip in the response.)

Sending uncompressed requests

curl -v -g 'http://localhost:3000/' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --compressed \
    --data-binary @data/products.json
