Memory leak?

[ottob]

Hi, thanks for your fantastic blog posts, they really helped me get going with go.

Today I came upon this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/gorilla-web/clJfCzenuWY

If I understand this correctly a defer context.Clear(req) might be needed in the ServerHTTP function in the http.go file to make sure that we do not leak memory. Or am I mistaken?

You had me on my toes for a minute there, but it's actually ok. Since we're using the pat package, it uses the mux package, so everything goes through the (*mux.Router).ServeHTTP method which cleans up.

Great, thanks for clearing this up for me.
