I am using the Rails output_compression plugin, but this applies to
nonRails applications as well. I am trying to compress a large amount
of output and send it. However, the browser doesn't seem to decode the
gzip properly (instead of some tables I need, it displays a lot of
junk) The code in question is the following:
def compress_output
return unless accepts_gzip?
output = StringIO.new
def output.close
# Zlib does a close. Bad Zlib...
rewind
end
gz = Zlib::GzipWriter.new(output)
gz.write(response.body)
gz.close
if output.length < response.body.length
@old_response_body = response.body
response.body = output.string
response.headers['Content-encoding'] = @compression_encoding
end
end
def accepts_gzip?
return false unless GZIP_SUPPORTED
accepts = request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING']
return false unless accepts && accepts =~ /(x-gzip|gzip)/
@compression_encoding = $1
true
end
Is there any reason that this code would _not_ properly compress the
output?
