+defmodule Pleroma.Web.Plugs.StaticNoCT do
+  @moduledoc """
+  A plug for serving static assets.
+
+  It requires two options:
+
+    * `:at` - the request path to reach for static assets.
+      It must be a string.
+
+    * `:from` - the file system path to read static assets from.
+      It can be either: a string containing a file system path, an
+      atom representing the application name (where assets will
+      be served from `priv/static`), a tuple containing the
+      application name and the directory to serve assets from (besides
+      `priv/static`), or an MFA tuple.
+
+  The preferred form is to use `:from` with an atom or tuple, since
+  it will make your application independent from the starting directory.
+  For example, if you pass:
+
+      plug Plug.Static, from: "priv/app/path"
+
+  Plug.Static will be unable to serve assets if you build releases
+  or if you change the current directory. Instead do:
+
+      plug Plug.Static, from: {:app_name, "priv/app/path"}
+
+  If a static asset cannot be found, `Plug.Static` simply forwards
+  the connection to the rest of the pipeline.
+
+  ## Cache mechanisms
+
+  `Plug.Static` uses etags for HTTP caching. This means browsers/clients
+  should cache assets on the first request and validate the cache on
+  following requests, not downloading the static asset once again if it
+  has not changed. The cache-control for etags is specified by the
+  `cache_control_for_etags` option and defaults to `"public"`.
+
+  However, `Plug.Static` also supports direct cache control by using
+  versioned query strings. If the request query string starts with
+  "?vsn=", `Plug.Static` assumes the application is versioning assets
+  and does not set the `ETag` header, meaning the cache behaviour will
+  be specified solely by the `cache_control_for_vsn_requests` config,
+  which defaults to `"public, max-age=31536000"`.
+
+  ## Options
+
+    * `:encodings` - list of 2-ary tuples where first value is value of
+      the `Accept-Encoding` header and second is extension of the file to
+      be served if given encoding is accepted by client. Entries will be tested
+      in order in list, so entries higher in list will be preferred. Defaults
+      to: `[]`.
+
+      In addition to setting this value directly it supports 2 additional
+      options for compatibility reasons:
+
+        + `:brotli` - will append `{"br", ".br"}` to the encodings list.
+        + `:gzip` - will append `{"gzip", ".gz"}` to the encodings list.
+
+      Additional options will be added in the above order (Brotli takes
+      preference over Gzip) to reflect older behaviour which was set due
+      to fact that Brotli in general provides better compression ratio than
+      Gzip.
+
+    * `:cache_control_for_etags` - sets the cache header for requests
+      that use etags. Defaults to `"public"`.
+
+    * `:etag_generation` - specify a `{module, function, args}` to be used
+      to generate   an etag. The `path` of the resource will be passed to
+      the function, as well as the `args`. If this option is not supplied,
+      etags will be generated based off of file size and modification time.
+      Note it is [recommended for the etag value to be quoted](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232#section-2.3),
+      which Plug won't do automatically.
+
+    * `:cache_control_for_vsn_requests` - sets the cache header for
+      requests starting with "?vsn=" in the query string. Defaults to
+      `"public, max-age=31536000"`.
+
+    * `:only` - filters which requests to serve. This is useful to avoid
+      file system access on every request when this plug is mounted
+      at `"/"`. For example, if `only: ["images", "favicon.ico"]` is
+      specified, only files in the "images" directory and the
+      "favicon.ico" file will be served by `Plug.Static`.
+      Note that `Plug.Static` matches these filters against request
+      uri and not against the filesystem. When requesting
+      a file with name containing non-ascii or special characters,
+      you should use urlencoded form. For example, you should write
+      `only: ["file%20name"]` instead of `only: ["file name"]`.
+      Defaults to `nil` (no filtering).
+
+    * `:only_matching` - a relaxed version of `:only` that will
+      serve any request as long as one of the given values matches the
+      given path. For example, `only_matching: ["images", "favicon"]`
+      will match any request that starts at "images" or "favicon",
+      be it "/images/foo.png", "/images-high/foo.png", "/favicon.ico"
+      or "/favicon-high.ico". Such matches are useful when serving
+      digested files at the root. Defaults to `nil` (no filtering).
+
+    * `:headers` - other headers to be set when serving static assets. Specify either
+      an enum of key-value pairs or a `{module, function, args}` to return an enum. The
+      `conn` will be passed to the function, as well as the `args`.
+
+    * `:content_types` - custom MIME type mapping. As a map with filename as key
+      and content type as value. For example:
+      `content_types: %{"apple-app-site-association" => "application/json"}`.
+
+  ## Examples
+
+  This plug can be mounted in a `Plug.Builder` pipeline as follows:
+
+      defmodule MyPlug do
+        use Plug.Builder
+
+        plug Plug.Static,
+          at: "/public",
+          from: :my_app,
+          only: ~w(images robots.txt)
+        plug :not_found
+
+        def not_found(conn, _) do
+          send_resp(conn, 404, "not found")
+        end
+      end
