Where to insert Rack::Deflater in the rack?

Question

I currently have the following:

use Rack::Rewrite
use Rack::Cache, {:verbose=>true, :metastore=>\"memcached://localhost:11211/rack-cache/meta\", :entitysto         


        

Answer 1

I had to insert it pretty early (before ActionDispatch::Static), like this:

# production.rb
config.middleware.insert_before ActionDispatch::Static, Rack::Deflater

You can use rake middleware to confirm (although this will look at your development settings)
