httpaux

The missing functionality from net/http

Summary

httpaux augments golang's net/http package with a few extra goodies.

• Middleware for clients in the form of http.RoundTripper decoration
• Standardized middleware interfaces
• Busy server middleware to limit serverside traffic
• Observable http.ResponseWriter middleware that provides a standard way for http.Handler decorators to examine what was written to the response by nested handlers
• Gate middleware to control server and client traffic
• An efficient, immutable Header type for writing static headers
• A configurable ConstantHandler that writes hardcoded information to responses
• httpmock package for mock-style testing with HTTP clients
• retry package with configurable retry for clients including exponential backoff
• erraux package with a configurable Encoder ruleset for representing errors as HTTP responses
