Support side-by-side precompressed static files about axum HOT 4 CLOSED

This is now supported with tower-http's ServeDir thanks to tower-rs/tower-http#156.

Example usage with axum:

use axum::{
    error_handling::HandleErrorExt, http::StatusCode, routing::service_method_routing::get, Router,
};
use tower_http::services::ServeDir;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let app = Router::new().nest(
        "/",
        get(ServeDir::new(".").precompressed_gzip().handle_error(|err: std::io::Error| {
            // missing files are automatically converted to 404
            // this is for other unknown IO errors
            (
                StatusCode::NOT_FOUND,
                format!("Not found, unknown IO error: {}", err),
            )
        })),
    );

    axum::Server::bind(&"0.0.0.0:3000".parse().unwrap())
        .serve(app.into_make_service())
        .await
        .unwrap();
}

[package]
name = "axum-precompressed-files"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
axum = "0.3"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
tower-http = { git = "https://github.com/tower-rs/tower-http", features = ["fs"] }

I think I'll close this for now since all that left is wrapping up tower-http 0.2.

@shepmaster Please let me know if you have more questions.

@shepmaster We're doing work on this in tower-http. Do you think tower-rs/tower-http#156 would work for your use case? There are some examples in the tests.

from axum.

My goal is to publish the final 0.1.x release of tower-http next week and then starting merging breaking PRs and working towards 0.2. Then at least then you can test it out with a git dependency. It should work just fine with axum I think.

When tower-http 0.2 will be released I'm not sure off.

from axum.

It certainly seems relevant! I note that you mention that a breaking change will be required — I assume that means that it will still be a while before I'd be able to test it out in Axum?
