3.0.3

New

• Configurable keep-alive idle timeout. A connection with no new request closes after idleTimeout. The default stays 30 seconds.

  Behind a load balancer, set it longer than the balancer's idle timeout. For example, AWS ALB keeps connections for 60 seconds, so use 65. Otherwise the server may close a connection the balancer still uses, and clients get 502.

  NativeHttpServer server = await NativeHttpServer.bind(
    3000,
    idleTimeout: Duration(seconds: 65),
  );

Fixes (with autoCompress on)

• Answers that could be gzipped now send Vary: Accept-Encoding. A shared cache no longer gives a gzip body to a client that can not read it.
• Accept-Encoding: gzip;q=0 now means "no gzip".
• Files that are compressed already (images, audio, video, zip, woff and so on) are no longer gzipped again. This saves CPU. image/svg+xml is still gzipped.

Good to know

• Native ABI 9. The build hook downloads the new library for you.
• The idleTimeout field now shows the value given to bind. Setting it later still has no effect, and it stays deprecated.
