schneems cfaaacd976 Enable gzip compression by default If someone is using ActionDispatch::Static to serve assets and makes it past the `match?` then the file exists on disk and it will be served. This PR adds in logic that checks to see if the file being served is already compressed (via gzip) and on disk, if it is it will be served as long as the client can handle gzip encoding. If not, then a non gzip file will be served. This additional logic slows down an individual asset request but should speed up the consumer experience as compressed files are served and production applications should be delivered with a CDN. This PR allows a CDN to cache a gzip file by setting the `Vary` header appropriately. In net this should speed up a production application that are using Rails as an origin for a CDN. Non-asset request speed is not affected in this PR.		2014-08-20 22:33:06 -05:00

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
