config.middleware.insert_before ActionDispatch::ParamsParser, "CompressedRequests"

this does not work with rails 5.

This is fixed for the CONTENT_LENGTH issue now. I don't know Rails 5 @plentz, so if you knew what needs to go there instead, please post that here.

It's working for me in rails 6 with config.middleware.insert_after ::Rack::Sendfile, ::CompressedRequests

-    status, headers, response = @app.call(env)
-    return [status, headers, response]
+    @app.call(env)

had a similar effect 💚

Used an index in insert_before which worked in rails 5 in all envs.

    config.middleware.insert_before 0, CompressedRequests
