go-web

go-web is a collection of utilities for http servers written in Go.

It has the following packages:

autogzip

• http.Handler that supports on-the-fly gzip encoding
• dummy http client that supports automatic gzip decoding

httpxtra

• Servers can listen on both TCP or Unix sockets
• Essential request logging (including Apache Common format)
• Support for X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers for servers sitting behind proxies or load balancers

remux

• A very simple request multiplexer that supports regular expressions

sse

• Server-Sent Events library (for push notifications)
