Every Rails application comes with a standard set of middleware which it uses in this order in the development environment:
-* +Rack::SSL+ Will force every request to be under HTTPS protocol. Will be available if +config.force_ssl+ is set to +true+. Options passed to this can be configured by using +config.ssl_options+.
+* +Rack::SSL+ forces every request to be under HTTPS protocol. Will be available if +config.force_ssl+ is set to +true+. Options passed to this can be configured by using +config.ssl_options+.
* +ActionDispatch::Static+ is used to serve static assets. Disabled if +config.serve_static_assets+ is +true+.
-* +Rack::Lock+ Will wrap the app in mutex so it can only be called by a single thread at a time. Only enabled if +config.action_controller.allow_concurrency+ is set to +false+, which it is by default.
-* +ActiveSupport::Cache::Strategy::LocalCache+ Serves as a basic memory backed cache. This cache is not thread safe and is intended only for serving as a temporary memory cache for a single thread.
-* +Rack::Runtime+ Sets an +X-Runtime+ header, containing the time (in seconds) taken to execute the request.
-* +Rails::Rack::Logger+ Notifies the logs that the request has began. After request is complete, flushes all the logs.
-* +ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions+ Rescues any exception returned by the application and renders nice exception pages if the request is local or if +config.consider_all_requests_local+ is set to +true+. If +config.action_dispatch.show_exceptions+ is set to +false+, exceptions will be raised regardless.
-* +ActionDispatch::RemoteIp+ Checks for IP spoofing attacks. Configurable with the +config.action_dispatch.ip_spoofing_check+ and +config.action_dispatch.trusted_proxies+ settings.
-* +Rack::Sendfile+ Intercepts responses whose body is being served from a file and replaces it with a server specific X-Sendfile header. Configurable with +config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header+.
-* +ActionDispatch::Callbacks+ Runs the prepare callbacks before serving the request.

* +ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement+ cleans active connections after each request, unless the +rack.test+ key in the request environment is set to +true+.
* +ActiveRecord::QueryCache+ caches all SELECT queries generated in a request. If any INSERT or UPDATE takes place then the cache is cleaned.
* +ActionDispatch::Cookies+ sets cookies for the request.

+* +to_prepare+: Run after the initializers are ran for all Railties (including the application itself), but before eager loading and the middleware stack is built. More importantly, will run upon every request in +development+, but only once (during boot-up) in +production+ and +test+.
* +before_eager_load+: This is run directly before eager loading occurs, which is the default behaviour for the _production_ environment and not for the +development+ environment.
* +after_initialize+: Run directly after the initialization of the application, but before the application initializers are run.
+To define an event for these hooks, use the block syntax within a +Rails::Aplication+, +Rails::Railtie+ or +Rails::Engine+ subclass:
+
+<ruby>
+module YourApp
+ class Application < Rails::Application
+ config.before_initialize do
+ # initialization code goes here
+ end
+ end
+end
+</ruby>
+
+Alternatively, you can also do it through the +config+ method on the +Rails.application+ object:
+
+<ruby>
+Rails.application.config.before_initialize do
+ # initialization code goes here
+end
+</ruby>
WARNING: Some parts of your application, notably observers and routing, are not yet set up at the point where the +after_initialize+ block is called.
