Pull request overview

This PR adds a Rails middleware-based mitigation for BREACH (CVE-2013-3587) by attempting to disable HTTP compression for API responses, and wires it into the Rails middleware stack ahead of Rack::Deflater.

Changes:

  • Add SuppressApiCompression middleware to alter Accept-Encoding and response headers for /api/* requests.
  • Insert the new middleware before Rack::Deflater in config/application.rb.
