Gzip Compression

[nemosupremo]

Is there a kosher way of adding gzip compressed responses to goweb?

You could instantiate the HTTP handler (handlers.HttpHandler) object yourself, and use something like this to wrap it: http://nf.id.au/posts/2011/04/roll-your-own-gzip-encoded-http-handler.html

It also bears mentioning, though: if you're developing a secure site with that this, you're potentially opening yourself up to the BREACH attack by using compression and SSL together. It depends on a number of circumstances, though, which you could prime yourself on at: http://breachattack.com/

Okay, thanks.
