Hi Curtis, very good remarks. I would make sense to provide the best possible preset for such a middleware. That could even be content-type sensitive. I would however add any settings to overwrite the preset. I believe if someone want to mingle with those things, one should inherit and override.
But even with a preset, I would follow content negotiation tactics, where the request can define preference over the content encoding. https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.3 Best -Joe On Friday, September 14, 2018 at 12:53:34 PM UTC+2, Curtis Maloney wrote: > > On 09/14/2018 08:24 PM, Aymeric Augustin wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I would like to be sure that Brotli is actually faster.
