+# HTTP resource pack server
+
+A common scenario is that you have a set of static resources that you want to
+server up quickly via HTTP (for example: stylesheets, WASM).
+
+This package provides a `net/http`-compatible `http.Handler` to do so, with
+support for:
+- compression
+  - gzip
+  - brotli, if you have the external compression binary available at pack time
+  - does not yet support Transfer-Encoding, only Accept-Encoding/Content-Encoding
+- etags
+- ranges
+
+The workflow is as follows:
+- build YAML file describing files to serve
+- run htpacker tool to produce a single .htpack file
+- create `htpack.Handler` pointing at .htpack file
+
+Only the minimal header processing necessary for correctness (Content-Length,
+etc.) is carried out by `htpack.Handler`; the handler can be combined with
+middleware for further processing (adding headers, `http.StripPrefix`, etc.).
