The redirect middleware was a leftover from the custom HTTP server → Axum
migration. It executed on every single request (including static files),
allocating a String from the URI path and performing 3 starts_with() checks,
but never actually redirected anything — just debug logging.
- Remove middleware application from main.rs
- Remove pub mod redirect from middleware/mod.rs
- Delete redirect.rs (121 lines of dead code)
Saves ~80-170ns of overhead per request (String alloc + comparisons +
Tower layer dispatch).
- Delete cache.rs middleware that buffered entire response bodies (up to 10MB)
in RAM on every cache miss, defeating streaming and causing memory spikes
- Also buffered non-GET responses unnecessarily via response_map_body()
- Add lightweight ETag support (based on max modified_at + count) to:
- FolderHandler::list_folder_listing (combined folder+files endpoint)
- FileHandler::list_files_query (file listing endpoint)
- Both support If-None-Match / 304 Not Modified without any body buffering
- File downloads already had ETag/304 support at handler level
- Service-level caches (FileContentCache, SearchService, ThumbnailService)
remain unchanged — they handle caching without HTTP body materialization
Standardize code formatting across all 173 Rust source files
using rustfmt. No functional changes - purely cosmetic.
This establishes a consistent code style baseline for the
project going forward.
