Doesn't work together with Rack::Deflater

[dyatlov]

When I use in config both HtmlCompressor and Rack::Deflater - I get data stream error:

config.middleware.use HtmlCompressor::Rack
config.middleware.use Rack::Deflater

Hi @dyatlov thank you for reporting and sorry for the late response. This is a situation I never found myself in, but I'll try to see if I can reproduce the error and how to fix. Unfortunately, as you may guess, I'm not spending much time on htmlcompressor these days so it could take a while before I can fix it, but if you can provide a pull-request I'd be happy to merge it.

It seems to work if I reverse the order

config.middleware.use Rack::Deflater config.middleware.use HtmlCompressor::Rack

Is that correct though? Can the compression work after the content has been deflated?

[dyatlov]

of course CAN'T :)

My browser shows that it is gzipped and the content is definitely compressed. Google Pagespeed confirms that the content is minified and gzipped.

Running rake middleware definitely shows that Deflater is above HtmlCompressor. What sorcery is this?

[dyatlov]

heh.. okay
