Functions

func Middleware

func Middleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler

Middleware which handles unpacking of requests. It supports unpacking Content-Encoding: gzip and Content-Encoding: deflate. Other encodings are ignored and passed on to the next handler. If the client specifies a supported Content-Encoding but this function fails to parse the body as such, it will fail the request with HTTP 415 and a text/plain error.
