Download/respond with binary data

[Maarten Koopmans]

Hi,

Is there a way to respond to a GET with offering a download of binary data?

E.g. get /mydata/data.blob  returns "data.blob" as a binary stream to the client ( where we set the content type as well).

Goweb gets out of your way.  Once you've mapped the URL successfully to the func that will handle it, you can directly use Context.Request and Context.ResponseWriter to do whatever you like.

So the question becomes, How do I deliver binary content using Go's http package.  This might help: http://blog.golang.org/2011/03/gobs-of-data.html

Setting the content type is as simple as setting the appropriate value in Context.ResponseWriter.Header.
