Golang静态文件（SVGZ）

Question

Im trying to serve static .svgz files (compressed SVG) with the below script:

http.ListenAndServe(":9090", http.FileServer(http.Dir("/srv/www/htdocs/")))

im getting the below error:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

if i try to fetch the same file through apache, the file is displaying properly.

is there a way to fix that?

Answer 1

The Go http.FileServer doesn't automatically add Content-Encoding for sniffed files. If the file is pre-compressed you will need to add the appropriate value.

You can add Content-Encoding: gzip to the headers and, and use http.ServeFile in your handler.
