Rack::Refresh

Rack Middleware for adding Refresh field to response headers.

Refresh is supported by modern browsers, but it isn't official HTTP standard. So please be careful when using this.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-refresh'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rack-refresh

Rack::Refresh is easy to use. I would explain how to use it in three sections.

use Rack::Refresh do
  refresh "/", interval: 5, url: "http://www.google.com/"
  refresh do |env|
    env["PATH_INFO"] == "/path" && env["REQUEST_METHOD"].to_s.upcase == "GET"
  end
  refresh %r{/hello.+?} do |env|
    env["PATH_INFO"].start_with?("/hello")
  end
end

The path can be set string and regex. The refresh field will be added to response headers if the path matches with ENV["PATH_INFO"]

use Rack::Refresh do
  # String
  refresh "/", url: "http://www.google.com/"
  # Regex
  refresh %r{/foo}, url: "http://www.google.com/"
end

The refresh field will be added to response headers if the return value of block is true.

use Rack::Refresh do
  refresh do |env|
    env["PATH_INFO"].start_with?("/hello")
  end
end

:url and :interval can be set in refresh and use methods. If options are set in both methods, refresh's option will be priority.

use Rack::Refresh, url: "http://www.google.com/", interval: 5 do
  refresh "/" #=> Refresh: 5; url=http://www.google.com/
  refresh "/foo", url: "http://namusyaka.info/", interval: 0 #=> Refresh: 0; url=http://namusyaka.info/
end
