Precompressed option for Caddy FileServer
A (hopefully) quick and easy feature request: Activate the precompressed
option for the file_server
directive in Caddy: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/file_server
Many frameworks allow the pre-compressing of static assets using Brotli and gzip and they are compiled out with [filename].br or similar extension. With Caddy's precompressed
option its possible for Caddy to serve these instead of gzipping on the fly for improved performance.
I'm hoping its as easy as adding a line in https://github.com/getmeli/meli/blob/beta/server/src/caddy/definitions/handlers.d.ts#L111
The Caddy config should be:
file_server {
precompressed br zstd gzip
}
This article explains it well: https://austindw.com/precompressed-assets-caddy/
What do you think?
This is a great idea, seems easy to implement. Would you be up for a PR ? It should be around here:
// https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/apps/http/servers/routes/handle/encode/encodings/gzip/
// https://caddy.community/t/gzip-headers-when-using-encode-handler/11781
const gzipHandler = {
handler: 'encode',
encodings: {
gzip: {},
},
};
