Server huge cached files

[Abbas Yazdanpanah]

Hi everyone!

First of all thank you for great goproxy package, it is really helped me to develop a simple cache application. I'm somehow a noob golang developer, so please help me with this issue.

I have a big problem, I could not server big cached files, for example files with size around 4GB. First I thought that if I create a modified version of NewResponse that accepts io.ReadCloser it will serve the content but the problem seems to be far deeper that this. It also seems that I must serve packets with "Content-Range" header (regarding to https://golang.org/src/net/http/fs.go) but I don't have any clue how this can be done in goproxy.

So please give me clues about how this can be done and what I must do in order to achieve this.

Warml regards,
Abbas.

Hello,

I'm not from goproxy dev team but I know that what Chunked Transfer Coding is used to "stream" your file.
