Gin middleware to enable GZIP
support.
Download and install it:
go get github.com/gin-contrib/gzip
Import it in your code:
import "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
Canonical example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression))
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix()))
})
// Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"strconv"
"strings"
"github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression, gzip.WithMinLength(2048)))
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
sizeStr := c.Query("size")
size, _ := strconv.Atoi(sizeStr)
c.String(http.StatusOK, strings.Repeat("a", size))
})
// Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Test with curl:
curl -i --compressed 'http://localhost:8080/ping?size=2047'
curl -i --compressed 'http://localhost:8080/ping?size=2048'
Notes:
- If a "Content-Length" header is set, that will be used to determine whether to compress based on the given min length.
- If no "Content-Length" header is set, a buffer is used to temporarily store writes until the min length is met or the request completes.
- Setting a high min length will result in more buffering (2048 bytes is a recommended default for most cases)
- The handler performs optimizations to avoid unnecessary operations, such as testing if
len(data)
exceeds min length before writing to the buffer, and reusing buffers between requests.
