=head1 Catalyst-Plugin-Compress-WithExclusions It is always a good idea to compress the results that are returned from your web application, if the client can handle it. L does that for you with very little effort. However, there are times when you might not want the response to be compressed. For example when a returning a file that has already been zipped. The extra compression is unlikely to reduce the file size and will just add extra load to the server. This module builds upon the L module and adds the option to skip the compression step for certain url paths. So, for example, if you don't want to compress any files in the download path, then you would add the following to your config: __PACKAGE__->config( compression_excluded => ['^download', ], ); Now all urls on the site that start with download will be uncompressed and everything else will be compressed as requested. =cut =head1 INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install =cut =head1 SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Catalyst::Plugin::Compress::WithExclusions You can also look for information at: RT, CPAN's request tracker (report bugs here) http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Catalyst-Plugin-Compress-WithExclusions AnnoCPAN, Annotated CPAN documentation http://annocpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Plugin-Compress-WithExclusions CPAN Ratings http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Catalyst-Plugin-Compress-WithExclusions Search CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Plugin-Compress-WithExclusions/ =head1 LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2012 Jody Clements This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of either: the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; or the Artistic License.
