GzipMiddleware

[martinnedopil]

Hi,

I have question. How middleware chain works? I am trying to create GzipMiddleware to gzip content and reduce size... But it looks TemplateResponse came to my middleware too early and looks like not processed by Jinja yet. Do you have any idea, how to solve?

Thanks

Martin

Hi, Martin!

You have a great point — I didn't think about that when I built the middleware system. I have a new fix coming that will add some entry points for this kind of operation — I expect it will be up in a few hours.

@martinnedopil I just released 1.3.0 that adds a new middleware hook. I think this will solve your issue! https://itsthejoker.github.io/spiderweb/#/middleware/custom_middleware?id=post_processself-request-request-rendered_response-str-gt-str

Hi Joe, this scenario is good (and quick) but do not solve my problem. Writting GzipMiddleware I need... In process_response method adapt response.headers["Content-Length"] to size of compressed response. But I am not able to get size of compressed file because compress get action in post_process and there I can change only response content string. And I also need to change header. For me will be nice to adapt def post_process(self, request: Request, rendered_response: str) -> str: signature to def post_process(self, request: Request, response:HTTPResponse, rendered_response: str) -> str: this allows me to change headers.

It is only an idea.

Thank you

Martin

Ohhhh crap you're right, I see. Okay, let me see if there's a better way to do this.

@martinnedopil I've just pushed up 1.3.1 that addresses that, and I've updated the documentation to show how headers can be changed in the final response.
