Defaults

GenHTTP.Modules.Practices

The Defaults() method 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.

await Host.Create()
          .Handler(...)
          .Defaults()
          .RunAsync();

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:

await Host.Create()
          .Handler(...)
          .Defaults(compression: false, rangeSupport: true)
          .RunAsync();

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`.
