# Markdown@Edge

A Markdown renderer on the Compute@Edge platform from Fastly.

The main source file, `src/main.rs`, contains all the code for the renderer.
The header and footer files I use are included at `content/_header.md` and
`content/_footer.md` for easy inspection.

## Nginx Configuration

In order to best support this application, it's important to add the following
line to Nginx's MIME types configuration:

```text
text/markdown     md;
```

I also disabled gzip and set the max-age and cache-control headers as follows:

```nginx
server {
  # ...
  location /edgeblog {
    # To illustrate the source to visitors.
    autoindex on;
    autoindex_exact_size off;
    autoindex_format html;
    autoindex_localtime on;

    # To facilitate tagging.
    gzip off;

    # Cache-Control headers
    expires 1h;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
  }
}
```
