Hello Tim,

I'm sorry for my very late answer.
You can also wrap the response's representation into a custom one that aims
at applying the minification process. You can have a look at the Encoder
filter, especially in the "encode" method which uses an
EncodeRepresentation.

Best regards,
Thierry Boileau


Perfect, thanks!
