After receiving a request on my REST endpoint, I would like to reply with status 200
and a body of data that is continuously generated and flushed (fetched from DB and can be very large). I'm looking for an effective way to do so with Gorilla Mux, since it's used all over the project.
I saw that it is possible with Labstack Echo, since it's ResponseWriter
supports http.Flusher
(interface to allow an HTTP handler to flush buffered data to the client). Unfortunately, it seems that gorilla's ResponseWriter
does not support this.
Questions:
- Is there a way to have this behaviour with Gorilla Mux?
- If not, I'd appreciate a pointer to the 'slimmest' method to achieve this behaviour otherwise (I already found Labstack Echo, but perhaps there's a better method?)
Invariants:
- I cannot use
WebSockets
and should integrate the solution with the REST APIs. - I will not be able to hold the entire file in the servers memory.
