Go web server: serving big files

[Tharaneedharan Vilwanathan]

Hi,

I was just trying to serve a big file (about 10GB) from Go web server (beego, actually). Looks like it tries to read the full file into memory and then serve it. Is that right? Is it a problem if I dont have enough memory? Any thoughts?

Regards

Open the file and use io.Copy on it and the response writer. 👍

If you use the standard library function in the http package (ServeContent), you won't have this problem.
