=head1 NAME
CGI::Buffer - Verify and Optimise CGI Output
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.70
=cut
our $VERSION = '0.70';
=head1 SYNOPSIS
CGI::Buffer verifies the HTML that you produce by passing it through
C<HTML::Lint>.
CGI::Buffer optimises CGI programs by compressing output to speed up
the transmission and by nearly seamlessly making use of client and
server caches.
To make use of client caches, that is to say to reduce needless calls
to your server asking for the same data, all you need to do is to
include the package, and it does the rest.
use CGI::Buffer;
# ...
To also make use of server caches, that is to say to save regenerating
output when different clients ask you for the same data, you will need
to create a cache.
But that's simple:
use CHI;
use CGI::Buffer;
# Put this at the top before you output anything
CGI::Buffer::init(
cache => CHI->new(driver => 'File')
);
if(CGI::Buffer::is_cached()) {
# Nothing has changed - use the version in the cache
exit;
}
# ...
If you get errors about Wide characters in print it means that you've
forgotten to emit pure HTML on non-ascii characters.
See L<HTML::Entities>.
As a hack work around you could also remove accents and the like by using
L<Text::Unidecode>,
which works well but isn't really what you want.

lint->content => 0, # Pass through HTML::Lint
generate_304 => 1, # Generate 304: Not modified
);
If no cache_key is given, one will be generated which may not be unique.
The cache_key should be a unique value dependent upon the values set by the
browser.
The cache object will be an object that understands get_object(),
set(), remove() and created_at() messages, such as an L<CHI> object.
Logger will be an object that understands debug() such as an L<Log::Log4perl>
object.
To generate a last_modified header, you must give a cache object.
Init allows a reference of the options to be passed. So both of these work:
use CGI::Buffer;
#...
CGI::Buffer::init(generate_etag => 1);
CGI::Buffer::init({ generate_etag => 1 });
Generally speaking, passing by reference is better since it copies less on to
the stack.
Alternatively you can give the options when loading the package:
use CGI::Buffer { optimise_content => 1 };

=head1 BUGS
CGI::Buffer should be safe even in scripts which produce lots of different
output, e.g. e-commerce situations.
On such pages, however, I strongly urge to setting generate_304 to 0 and
sending the HTTP header "Cache-Control: no-cache".
When using L<Template>, ensure that you don't use it to output to STDOUT,
instead you will need to capture into a variable and print that.
For example:
my $output;
$template->process($input, $vars, \$output) || ($output = $template->error());
print $output;
Can produce buggy JavaScript if you use the <!-- HIDING technique.
This is a bug in L<JavaScript::Packer>, not CGI::Buffer.
See https://github.com/nevesenin/javascript-packer-perl/issues/1#issuecomment-4356790
Mod_deflate can confuse this when compressing output.
Ensure that deflation is off for .pl files:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|pl)$ no-gzip dont-vary
If you request compressed output then uncompressed output (or vice
versa) on input that produces the same output, the status will be 304.
The letter of the spec says that's wrong, so I'm noting it here, but
in practice you should not see this happen or have any difficulties
because of it.
CGI::Buffer is not compatible with FastCGI.
I advise adding CGI::Buffer as the last use statement so that it is
cleared up first. In particular it should be loaded after
L<Log::Log4Perl>, if you're using that, so that any messages it
produces are printed after the HTTP headers have been sent by
CGI::Buffer;
Please report any bugs or feature requests to C<bug-cgi-buffer at rt.cpan.org>,
or through the web interface at L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=CGI-Buffer>.
I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on
your bug as I make changes.
