rest apis in golang accepting a file upload and another API to stream the file content

[suman....@gmail.com]

Is there any example of uploading a file to Rest API (POST) implemented using Gorilla library in Go? This API should be accessible via curl, chrome Rest client or any other http rest clients.
Examples I googled show uploading from a web page Form.

You don't really need Gorilla to do this, unless you have complicated routes (URL paths for actions); in that case use Gorilla mux.

For uploading a file, there are plenty of examples, for example this[1].

To "stream" a file, just open it and use the resulting Reader in io.Copy() on the http.ResponseWriter: io.Copy(respWriter, fileReader).

Thanks for the response. But io,Copy is failing while dealing with large files (570MB).

My bad. It works perfect with io,Copy. Thanks.

Actually I have almost the same scenario: I am trying to upload large files as a stream. Do you think the io.Copy() method would work for me? If not what do you recommend.
