SeaweedFS' default chunk size is 4MiB; if we don't match it (or a multiple)
then our multipart uploads become uneven because they end up as chunks of the
buffer size followed by the remaining data. This is particularly egregious with
the current default of 5MiB, because then we get a 4MiB chunk followed by a
1MiB chunk every time.
This is an example middleware which can be used as an AuthMiddleware for only
allowing requests to non-view pages which are accompanied by an auth token via
HTTP basic auth.
This allows clients to register an authentication middleware which will be
provided values in the context that it can use to make an authn/authz decision.
We might get bad requests for e.g. file uploads, so we should have an error
handler for that.
This also disables mime type sniffing for the other text/plain error handler.
We'll need this for cleanup operations as well. This should likely be factored
out again into an entirely separate package that deals with storage access.
We support several methods of serving assets:
* Redirect to blobstore
- This requires the backend to support signed URLs.
We rely on the backend to support HTTP semantics, like supporting
Range headers.
* Serve-using-http.ServeContent
- This requires the backend to actually be providing a io.ReadSeeker.
net/http provides Range/If- conditional support.
* Serve-proxy
- This is the safest and most compatible method.
We don't support conditionals nor Range headers. This mode is unlikely
to be suitable for multimedia, like MP3s or video.
This adds both redirect-to-signed-URL and proxy fileserving.
The proxy fileserving is somewhat limited: we don't support the Range header,
and it isn't easy to reuse the net/http ServeContent implementation because
that requires a SeekCloser. I think it might be possible to "bodge" a
SeekCloser on top of dynamically opening files, but it'll be a bit wonky and
will be slower than strictly necessary.
We add the hash of the file to the static assets, so they can be cached
indefinitely. This also, however, means that we need some way of referring to
them.
