Functions

func New

func New(c middleware.Controller) (middleware.Middleware, error)

New creates a new gzip middleware instance.

Types

type Gzip

type Gzip struct {
	Next middleware.Handler
}

Gzip is a middleware type which gzips HTTP responses. It is imperative that any handler which writes to a gzipped response specifies the Content-Type, otherwise some clients will assume application/x-gzip and try to download a file.

func (Gzip) ServeHTTP

func (g Gzip) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) (int, error)

ServeHTTP serves a gzipped response if the client supports it.
