gzip returning junk data with empty response body

[Jamie Stackhouse]

When I exit a call that has gone through the gzip middleware, I see it output junk data into the response body.

Cache-Control → private, max-age=30
Content-Encoding → gzip
Content-Length → 23
Content-Type → application/x-gzip
Date → Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:23:56 GMT
Expires → Mon, 20 Apr 2015 09:24:26 GMT
Vary → Accept-Encoding

Wasn't exactly junk data, it was the 404 page not found.

We were using

router := gin.New()
router.Use(gzipMiddleware))

Now, I'm wrapping the http.Handler that Gin returns before-hand to handle gzip.

If we could add a .Before() to the Gin API to register handlers that should come before it hits the muxer rather than after like .Use() that would allow people to operate entirely in Gin contexts.

@itsjamie

I'm getting the ? n????? also when using gzip.

Could you tell me what I can to do fix this?

Thank you in advance.

    r := gin.Default()
    r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression))
    r.GET("/docs", getDocs)

    s := &http.Server{
        Addr:    ":8080",
        Handler: r,
    }

    s.SetKeepAlivesEnabled(false)
    s.ListenAndServe()
