Defaults

genhttp-modules-practices Package on Maven Central

The defaults() function provided by the practices module adds some useful concerns to your web server to enable features such as compression or client side caching. This way, you will have a well configured server instance without the need of adding everything by yourself.

Kotlin
val app = Layout.create()

Host.create()
    .handler(app)
    .defaults()
    .run()

If you would like to opt out of a default feature, or enable one that is off by default, you may pass a flag as needed:

Kotlin
val app = Layout.create()

Host.create()
    .handler(app)
    .defaults(compression = false, rangeSupport = true)
    .run()

defaults() accepts the following flags:

Flag	Default	Enables
`compression`	`true`	Compression of response content.
`decompression`	`false`	Decompression of request content.
`secureUpgrade`	`true`	Automatic upgrade of insecure requests.
`strictTransport`	`true`	HSTS via a `Strict-Transport-Security` header.
`clientCaching`	`true`	Client side caching via `ETag` validation.
`rangeSupport`	`false`	Partial responses for range requests.
`preventSniffing`	`false`	MIME type sniffing prevention via `X-Content-Type-Options`.
