Rack After Reply

A hook for Rack apps which fires after the response has been sent, and the socket to the client has been closed.

This is the ideal time to perform delayable, non-backgroundable tasks, such as garbage collection, stats gathering, flushing logs, etc. without affecting response times at all.

Simply add your callbacks to env['rack_after_reply.callbacks'].

use Rack::ContentLength
use Rack::ContentType, 'text/plain'
run lambda { |env|
  env['rack_after_reply.callbacks'] << lambda { ... }
  [200, {}, ['hi']]
}
