From 5b2f600036145653c48a7e8a60853e4a0ecc770b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Lo=C3=AFc=20Hoguin?= Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2024 15:53:42 +0100 Subject: Don't automatically compress when response has etag In the cowboy_compress_h stream handler. Otherwise this could cause issues with caching, with the etag being the same for compressed/uncompressed content. Users that wish to send etags AND compress will have to do it manually for the time being. --- doc/src/manual/cowboy_compress_h.asciidoc | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_compress_h.asciidoc b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_compress_h.asciidoc index f6a45a9..048a4ac 100644 --- a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_compress_h.asciidoc +++ b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_compress_h.asciidoc @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ cowboy_compress_h - Compress stream handler The module `cowboy_compress_h` compresses response bodies automatically when the client supports it.
