I've deployed a rails 3.1 app on the new cedar stack on heroku. The new stack doesn't automatically provide gzipping so I've added
use Rack::Deflater in my config.ru
Testing it through curl with the following command:
curl -i -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' http://carbuzz-production.herokuapp.com
Returns an header with content encoding gzip and a body that seems compressed.
Opening the page in firefox or chrome shows the body untranslated (lots of gibberish).
Any idea how to solve this?
This was a bit silly. Apparently rails 3.1 automatically uses Rack::Deflater so I was basically gzipping twice...
I discovered it by executing rake middleware.
I hope it helps anyway.
