class Mongrel::DeflateFilter

When added to a config script (-S in mongrel_rails) it will look at the client’s allowed response types and then gzip compress anything that is going out.

Valid option is :always_deflate => false which tells the handler to deflate everything even if the client can’t handle it.

Constants
