Serving gziped connect via HTTP in golang
The builtin HTTP server in the golang standard library does not serve gziped content. However you can relatively easily add a wrapper function to compress data on the fly. The best tool to do this appears to be go.httpgzip. A basic example of its usage might look like this:
import ( "github.com/daaku/go.httpgzip" "net/http" ) func main() { http.Handle("/", httpgzip.NewHandler(http.FileServer(http.Dir(".")))) err := http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil) if err != nil { panic("Error: " + err.Error()) } }
