⚠⚠⚠ Note ⚠⚠⚠ gorilla/context, having been born well before
context.Contextexisted, does not play well with the shallow copying of the request thathttp.Request.WithContext(added to net/http Go 1.7 onwards) performs.Using gorilla/context may lead to memory leaks under those conditions, as the pointers to each
http.Requestbecome "islanded" and will not be cleaned up when the response is sent.You should use the
http.Request.Context()feature in Go 1.7.
gorilla/context is a general purpose registry for global request variables.
- It stores a
map[*http.Request]map[interface{}]interface{}as a global singleton, and thus tracks variables by their HTTP request.
