Name	Description
`Date`	Add the Date header to responses. Required by HTTP.
`Head`	Add support for HTTP `HEAD` requests.
`Logger`	Log incoming requests to the console / file.
`RateLimiter`	Limit how many requests can be handled from a source.

`RequestId`	Add a Request-Id header to all requests.
`ServeStatic`	Serve static files from a dir.
`Trace`	Add support for the HTTP `TRACE` method.

Modules

date
Middleware to add the HTTP Date header (as defined in RFC 9110, Section 5.6.7). This is technically required for all servers that have a clock, so I may move it to the core library at some point.
logger
Log requests to the console or a file.
serve_static
Serve Static Content from the file system.

Date
Middleware to add the HTTP Date header (as defined in RFC 9110, Section 5.6.7). This is technically required for all servers that have a clock, so I may move it to the core library at some point.
Head
Middleware to add support for the HTTP HEAD method. It does this by changing the method to GET and adding a special header (afire::head). Once the response is processed by the normal route handler, the middleware will check if the header is present. If it is, any body data will be discarded and the [Content-Length] header will be added, if it is not already present. On static responses, the length is already known, but with streaming responses, the stream will be read to the end to get the length (by default).
Logger
Log requests to the console or a file.
RateLimiter
Limit the amount of requests handled by the server.
RequestId
Add an id to every incoming Request
ServeStatic
Serve Static Content
Trace
Adds support for the HTTP TRACE method. It echos the request (Status line + Headers) back to the client as the response body. The Cookie header is excluded by default because it could contain sensitive information. Read more about it in RFC-9110.

RealIp
Trait that adds methods for getting the real IP of a client through a reverse proxy. If you are using the “X-Forwarded-For” header you can use req.real_ip() but if you are using a different header you will have to use req.real_ip_header(...).
