go-web is a collection of utilities for http servers written in Go.

It has the following packages:

• http.Handler that supports on-the-fly gzip encoding
• dummy http client that supports automatic gzip decoding

• Servers can listen on both TCP or Unix sockets
• Essential request logging (including Apache Common format)
• Support for X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers for servers sitting behind proxies or load balancers

• A very simple request multiplexer that supports regular expressions

• Server-Sent Events library (for push notifications)

There are application templates in the templates directory that can be used as a starting point for new projects. Check them out too.

freegeoip.net is a public API for IP geolocation that uses go-web, and is open source too.
