|
> Using gorilla/context may lead to memory leaks under those conditions, as the pointers to each `http.Request` become "islanded" and will not be cleaned up when the response is sent.

|
|
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.
