* request.formats is much simpler now
* For XHRs or Accept headers with a single item, we use the Accept header
* For other requests, we use params[:format] or fallback to HTML
* This is primarily to work around the fact that browsers provide completely
broken Accept headers, so we have to whitelist the few cases we can
specifically isolate and treat other requests as coming from the browser
* For APIs, we can support single-item Accept headers, which disambiguates
from the browsers
* Requests to an action that only has an XML template from the browser will
no longer find the template. This worked previously because most browsers
provide a catch-all */*, but this was mostly accidental behavior. If you
want to serve XML, either use the :xml format in links, or explicitly
specify the XML template: render "template.xml".
* Move #set_cookie and #delete_cookie inline to optimize. These optimizations should
almost certainly be sent back upstream to Rack. The optimization involves using
an ivar for cookies instead of indexing into the headers each time.
* Was able to use a bare Hash for headers now that cookies have their own joining
semantics (some code assumed that the raw cookies were an Array).
* Cache blankness of body on body=
* Improve expand_cache_key for Arrays of a single element (common in our case)
* Use a simple layout condition check unless conditions are used
* Cache visible actions
* Lazily load the UrlRewriter
* Make etag an ivar that is set on prepare!
* Tentatively replaced HeaderHash with SimpleHeaderHash, which does not preserve
case but does handle converting Arrays to Strings in to_hash. This requires
further discussion.
* Moved default_charset to ActionDispatch::Response to avoid having to hop over
to ActionController. Ideally, this would be a constant on AD::Response, but
some tests expect to be able to change it dynamically and I didn't want to change
them yet.
* Completely override #initialize from Rack::Response. Previously, it was creating
a HeaderHash, and then we were creating an entirely new one. There is no way to
call super without incurring the overhead of creating a HeaderHash.
* Override #write from Rack::Response. Its implementation tracks Content-Length,
and doing so adds additional overhead that could be mooted if other middleware
changes the body. It is more efficiently done at the top-level server.
* Change sending_file to an instance_variable instead of header inspection. In
general, if a state is important, it should be set as a property of the response
not reconstructed later.
* Set the Etag to @body instead of .body. AS::Cache.expand_cache_key handles
Arrays fine, and it's more efficient to let it handle the body parts, since
it is not forced to create a joined String.
* If we detect the default cache control case, just set it, rather than setting
the constituent parts and then running the normal (expensive) code to generate
the string.
* It is not possible to always pre-determine the layout before going to ActionView.
This was *already* broken for render :partial => @object, :layout => true. This is
now handled by overriding render_to_body in layouts.rb and manually injecting the
partial's response. This needs to be done in ActionController since ActionController
knows enough to get _layout_for_option. There is probably a better abstraction here.
* As a result, all partial rendering can correctly restrict their layouts to the mime
type of the rendered partial. This could have previously caused a bug in some edge cases.
* If other layout-like options are added, they might need to add special code for the
case of render :partial. We should try to think of an alternate solution, if possible,
but this works for the cases we know of now.
