funcNewChunkedReader¶

func NewChunkedReader(rio.Reader)io.Reader

NewChunkedReader returns a new chunkedReader that translates the data read from rout of HTTP "chunked" format before returning it.The chunkedReader returnsio.EOF when the final 0-length chunk is read.

NewChunkedReader is not needed by normal applications. The http packageautomatically decodes chunking when reading response bodies.

funcNewChunkedWriter¶

func NewChunkedWriter(wio.Writer)io.WriteCloser

NewChunkedWriter returns a new chunkedWriter that translates writes into HTTP"chunked" format before writing them to w. Closing the returned chunkedWritersends the final 0-length chunk that marks the end of the stream but doesnot send the final CRLF that appears after trailers; trailers and the lastCRLF must be written separately.

NewChunkedWriter is not needed by normal applications. The httppackage adds chunking automatically if handlers don't set aContent-Length header. Using newChunkedWriter inside a handlerwould result in double chunking or chunking with a Content-Lengthlength, both of which are wrong.

typeFlushAfterChunkWriter¶added ingo1.5

type FlushAfterChunkWriter struct {*bufio.Writer}

FlushAfterChunkWriter signals from the caller ofNewChunkedWriterthat each chunk should be followed by a flush. It is used by thenet/http.Transport code to keep the buffering behavior for headers andtrailers, but flush out chunks aggressively in the middle forrequest bodies which may be generated slowly.
