Enhance `req.acceptsEncodings` Method `5.x`
Enhance req.acceptsEncodings
Method
This enhancement refines the req.acceptsEncodings
method to improve the handling of the request's Accept-Encoding
header. The updated method checks whether the client accepts the specified encoding(s) and returns the best matching encoding or an array of acceptable encodings.
Key Features:
- Supports single or multiple encoding strings and a comma-delimited list of encodings.
- Provides consistent behavior across different input formats.
- Enhances code readability and maintainability.
Examples:
-
req.acceptsEncodings('gzip')
returns"gzip"
when theAccept-Encoding
header includes"gzip"
. -
req.acceptsEncodings('br')
returnsundefined
if the encoding isn't accepted by the client. -
req.acceptsEncodings('gzip, deflate')
returns"gzip"
as the best match.
This update ensures more robust handling of accepted encodings, improving compatibility and performance.
