Gzip headers
It would be neat to check an HTTP request for Accept-Encoding: gzip to return assets with a Content-Encoding: gzip header and the compressed asset body.
Is there already a way to do this that I've missed?
Are you asking about using the original compressed content directly, rather than decompressing and then compressing it again?
If so, this would have to be supported by go-bindata first, since go-bindata-assetfs uses output generated by go-bindata. There's an open issue about it at https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/issues/22.
I really wanted this feature too, and I ended up making a fork based on go-bindata and go-bindata-assetfs, combining the two packages into a single one. That allowed this feature to be implemented more directly.
That sounds like exactly what I had in mind. I'll have to take a look at your project. Thanks!
