From 50dd8f9bda306452d57eab8d4ab0f0d112e98f11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ZDDC Date: Sun, 3 May 2026 23:31:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] perf(server): gzip compression middleware on the entire mux MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add github.com/klauspost/compress/gzhttp wrapper around the request handler. With MinSize(1024), responses ≥ 1 KB get gzip-encoded when the client advertises Accept-Encoding: gzip; smaller bodies + 304 Not Modified pass through unchanged. The wrapper auto-appends Vary: Accept-Encoding (compatible with the existing Vary: Accept on directory.go's content-negotiated path). Live-tested against zddc-server -root /tmp/empty: GET / w/ Accept-Encoding: gzip → 20.9 KB compressed (was 80.9 KB uncompressed). 74% reduction. Decompresses cleanly back to the original bytes. Helps every code path that bypasses Caddy: devshell pods, local dev binaries, tests, anywhere zddc-server is hit directly. Production behind Caddy already had compression at the proxy layer; this just makes the Go server self-sufficient. Tests in cmd/zddc-server/main_test.go cover: - large body + Accept-Encoding → compressed + Vary header - small body → not compressed (under MinSize) - no Accept-Encoding header → plain bytes --- zddc/cmd/zddc-server/main.go | 25 +++++++++- zddc/cmd/zddc-server/main_test.go | 78 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ zddc/go.mod | 1 + zddc/go.sum | 2 + 4 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/zddc/cmd/zddc-server/main.go b/zddc/cmd/zddc-server/main.go index 6f11bc2..76b544c 100644 --- a/zddc/cmd/zddc-server/main.go +++ b/zddc/cmd/zddc-server/main.go @@ -20,6 +20,8 @@ import ( "codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC/zddc/internal/handler" "codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC/zddc/internal/tlsutil" "codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC/zddc/internal/zddc" + + "github.com/klauspost/compress/gzhttp" ) // version is the binary's own version, injected at build time via @@ -110,9 +112,15 @@ func main() { dispatch(cfg, idx, logRing, appsServer, w, r) }))))) + gzWrapper, err := newGzipWrapper() + if err != nil { + slog.Error("gzhttp wrapper init", "err", err) + os.Exit(1) + } + srv := &http.Server{ Addr: cfg.Addr, - Handler: mux, + Handler: gzWrapper(mux), TLSConfig: tlsCfg, } @@ -146,6 +154,21 @@ func main() { slog.Info("stopped") } +// newGzipWrapper builds the gzip middleware applied to the entire mux. +// MinSize(1024) skips compressing tiny responses where the framing +// overhead exceeds the savings (304 Not Modified, error pages, small +// JSON listings under ~1 KB).
