I am trying to write a simple http MiddleWare handler that will process an http response. Unfortunately, it does not work and I cannot figure out what mistake I am making. Any/all help is appreciated!
I am using Go Gorilla mux router Here are illustrative parts of the code:
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
:
func Start() {
router := mux.NewRouter()
router.HandleFunc("/", myHandler)
:
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8088", Middleware(router)))
}
func myHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintln(w, "myHandler called")
}
func Middleware(h http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
neww := NewProcessor(w)
h.ServeHTTP(neww, r)
})
}
type Processor struct {
http.ResponseWriter
}
func (r *Processor) Write(b []byte) (int, error) {
fmt.Printf("******* Processor writing...")
log.Print(string(b)) // log it out
return r.Write(b) // pass it to the original ResponseWriter
}
func NewProcessor(w http.ResponseWriter) http.ResponseWriter {
fmt.Printf("******* Creating new Processor...")
return &Processor{ResponseWriter: w}
}
The output I get is listed below (extra logging text omitted for clarity):
******* Creating new Processor
myHandler called
However, notice the message "******* Processor writing..." was not displayed, suggesting that the "Write" function did not get called.
What changes need to be made to allow the "Write" function to be called?
