Laurence Withers 0883b0b405 cmd/htpacker: workaround for SVG files without XML prolog
If a .svg file doesn't have a “<?xml…” prolog, then it would be detected as plain
text. Allow extension-based override of the content-type in this case.

HTTP resource pack server

A common scenario is that you have a set of static resources that you want to serve 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 (TODO)

The workflow is as follows:

  • (optional) build YAML file describing files to serve
  • run htpacker tool to produce a single .htpack file
  • create htpack.Handler pointing at .htpack file

The handler can easily be combined with middleware (http.StripPrefix etc.).
