h4. Configuring Assets
Rails 3.1, by default, is set up to use the +sprockets+ gem to manage assets within an application. This gem concatenates and compresses assets in order to make serving them much less painful.

-In addition to these methods to handle the stack, if your application is going to be used as an API endpoint only, the middleware stack can be configured like this:
-
-<ruby>
-config.middleware.http_only!
-</ruby>
-
-By doing this, Rails will create a smaller middleware stack, by not adding some middlewares that are usually useful for browser access only, such as Cookies, Session and Flash, BestStandardsSupport, and MethodOverride. You can always add any of them later manually if you want. Refer to the "API App docs":api_app.html for more info on how to setup your application for API only apps.
