* Package name : django-compression-middleware Version : 0.4.2 Upstream Author : Friedel Wolff <frie...@translate.org.za> * URL : https://github.com/friedelwolff/django-compression-middleware * License : MPL-2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : Django middleware to compress responses using several algorithms This middleware implements compressed content encoding for HTTP. It is similar to Django's GZipMiddleware, but additionally supports other compression methods. It is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Django's GZipMiddleware. The middleware is focussed on the task of compressing typical Django responses such as HTML, JSON, etc. Both normal (bulk) and streaming responses are supported. For static file compression, have a look at other projects such as WhiteNoise. Zstandard is a new method for compression with little client support so far. Most browsers now support Brotli compression. The middleware will choose the best compression method supported by the client as indicated in the request's Accept-Encoding header. I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
