This middleware makes it much easier to write sub-routes, allowing you
to make the sub-router ignorant of its parent router's matched prefix.

The example app has also been modified to use this functionality for its
admin pages.

Fixes #65.

This is a breaking API change that changes how wildcard patterns are
treated. In particular, wildcards are no longer allowed to appear at
arbitrary places in the URL, and are only allowed to appear immediately
after a path separator. This change effectively changes the wildcard
sigil from "*" to "/*".

Users who use wildcard routes like "/hello*" will have to switch to
regular expression based routes to preserve the old semantics.

The motivation for this change is that it allows the router to publish a
special "tail" key which represents the unmatched portion of the URL.
This is placed into URLParams under the key "*", and includes a leading
"/" to make it easier to write sub-routers.

This allows you to match "/a/cat.gif" with patterns like "/a/:b.:c".

Thanks to @Minecrell for an early patch implementing this functionality.

Fixes #75.
Fixes #48.

This is a common enough question that it's worth calling out explicitly.

Make the bytecode runner return the route that we're going to use. It's
up to the router itself to dispatch to that route.

Besides feeling a teensy bit cleaner, this refactoring is to prepare for
a "Router" middleware, which will allow application developers to
control when in the middleware stack routing occurs.

I originally exposed Compile() for exactly this use case, but apparently
I never actually implemented this. Oops.

In any event, this makes the first request a little faster (an extremely
unscientific test suggests on the order of 10 microseconds). Also, if
something goes terribly wrong during route compilation, it would fail
before we start listening on the socket.

I think this is a bunch clearer.

f292697223 accidentally removed
web.Mux.Compile from the public API. This restores it.

This fixes the documentation wart where half of the methods were defined
on "rt *Mux". It doesn't change the public API.

Instead of using struct embedding to build web.Mux, start moving towards
explicit mappings. This doesn't actually change the public API of
web.Mux, but feels a little cleaner to me.

The longer-term thing here is to get rid of the functions defined on
Muxes in the public documentation that are defined on "rt *Mux", which
is just plain ugly.

This allows users who do not wish to use bind.WithFlag() to still take
advantage of bind's magical listener selection logic.

Fixes #68.

This is meant to accomplish a few things:
1. graceful no longer spawns an additional goroutine per connection.
   Instead, it maintains a sharded set of idle connections that a single
   reaper goroutine can go through when necessary.
2. graceful's connection struct has a more orthogonal set of connection
   state flags, replacing the harder-to-understand state machine. The
   underlying mechanics are largely the same, however.
3. graceful now uses the Go 1.3 ConnState API to avoid the "200-year
   SetReadDeadline hack." It still falls back on SetReadDeadline on Go
   1.2 or where ConnState does not apply.

Add BytesWritten() method to WriterProxy.

This makes it possible to show content length when writing the access log.

This feature can be used in place of the pile of hacks in middleware.go,
and doesn't involve awkwardly shimming out a http.ResponseWriter. Sounds
like a win-win!

Update web.go

Fixing typo in example README.

The result of this was that builds were broken on windows and app
engine.

Fixes #59.

It turns out WriterProxy is pretty generally useful, especially when
defining custom http loggers. Expose it in a util package so that other
packages can use it.

Fixes #52.

This package was always sort of a black sheep package, and it's time it
had a separate home.

If you're manipulating your middleware stack concurrently with active
requests you're probably doing something wrong, and it's not worth
either the complexity or runtime cost to support you hitting yourself.

We can probably take this principle a bit further and disallow mutating
the middleware stack after any requests have been made (which will
eliminate even more complexity) but that can be a project for another
day.

This has the additional benefit of removing the need for a go1.3 branch.

App Engine disallows package unsafe. As a workaround for the (unsafe)
RCU atomic pointer shenanigans we pull in order to avoid taking a lock
in the hot routing path, let's just grab the lock. Honestly, I doubt
anyone will notice anyways, especially considering the fact that App
Engine is single-threaded anyways.

Fixes #52.

Previously, a state machine invalidation could have raced against an
in-flight routing attempt: if the invalidation occured after the routing
attempt had already completed its nil-check (choosing not to compile a
new state machine) but before the state machine was atomically loaded to
perform routing, the routing goroutine would begin to panic from
dereferencing nil.

The meat of this change is that we now return the state machine that we
compiled (while still holding the lock), and we only ever interact with
the state machine through atomic pointer loads.

Also, move it out of Serve so it's possible to override.

For Bad Reasons (tm), Ruby 1.8's YAML parser expects a lot more spaces
than Ruby 1.9's does. Let's humor it and give it those spaces.

Expose an additional function, bind.WithFlag(), which allows callers to
use the previously-default "global flag" mode.

This change allows the bind string parser (etc.) to be used without
unwanted side effects. The behavior of the top-level "goji" package has
not been changed.

Fixes #47.

Double dashes to em dashes

Previously, a set of standard signals would be handled automatically via
an init() function, however that made the package difficult to use in
packages in which an HTTP server would only be spawned some of the times
(perhaps keyed on an environment variable or flag). Now, signals must be
registered manually.

By default, the top-level "goji" package automatically registers
signals with graceful, so this will result in no behavior changes for
most people.

Fixes #35.

Many common panic values, e.g. nil pointer dereferences, don't print
very well under "%#v", emitting something like
"runtime.errorCString{cstr:0x54b2a4}" or similar.

If WriteHeader is called multiple times on a http.ResponseWriter, the
first status is the one that is used, not the last. Fix the wrapped
writer to reflect this fact.

This is worth about 4% on

This is worth about 3% in
github.com/julienschmidt/go-http-routing-benchmark's
BenchmarkGoji_GithubAll. Not a huge win, but definitely still worth it.
