Rack Timestamp Middleware

Rack::Timestamp adds a timestamp to the Rack environment. By using this middleware at the top of the stack, it is usefull to know exactly when the request has been processed by the server. It will prevent Time.now to be spoiled by the execution time of the other middlewares and/or code within controllers/models/libs...

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-timestamp', '~> 1.1'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rack-timestamp

It is recommended to add the Rack::Timestamp middleware at the top of the stack in config/application.rb

config.middleware.insert_before 0, Rack::Timestamp

Then in your app:

puts env['rack.timestamp']
=> "Sun, 28 Aug 2016 04:19:34 GMT"

To run tests:

$ bundle exec rake spec

To install this gem for development purposes:

$ gem install bundler # note: you don't need to do this if you already have it installed
$ git clone git://github.com/mchaisse/rack-timestamp.git
$ cd rack-timestamp
$ bundle install
