EarlyHintsHeader
An early hints Ruby / Rack middleware which just sets Link headers.
This means you can use early hints without having to use the HTTP 103 status code, i.e. nginx's http2_push_preload.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'early_hints_header'
gem 'fast_woothee' # optional: for blocking broken client like iOS
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install early_hints_header
Usage
# In config.ru
require "early_hints_header/middleware"
use EarlyHintsHeader::Middleware
Caveats
When using HTTP2 push, be aware of potential clients that do not properly support preloading. For example, certain older Safari versions do not work properly. This gem will handle that if you have fast_woothee installed.
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then,
run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an
interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
.
To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then
run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version,
push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to
rubygems.org.
