encodeResponse

Signature

def encodeResponse: Directive0

Description

Encodes the response with the encoding that is requested by the client via the Accept-Encoding header or rejects the request with an UnacceptedResponseEncodingRejection(supportedEncodings).

The response encoding is determined by the rules specified in RFC7231.

If the Accept-Encoding header is missing or empty or specifies an encoding other than identity, gzip or deflate then no encoding is used.

Example

val route = encodeResponse { complete("content") }

// tests:
Get("/") ~> route ~> check {
  response should haveContentEncoding(identity)
}
Get("/") ~> `Accept-Encoding`(gzip, deflate) ~> route ~> check {
  response should haveContentEncoding(gzip)
}
Get("/") ~> `Accept-Encoding`(deflate) ~> route ~> check {
  response should haveContentEncoding(deflate)
}
Get("/") ~> `Accept-Encoding`(identity) ~> route ~> check {
  response should haveContentEncoding(identity)
}
