fastcgi's ServeHTTP method originally returned the correct value (0) in
b51e8bc191. Later, I mistakenly suggested
we change that to return the status code because I forgot that status
codes aren't logged by the return value. So fastcgi broke due in
3966936bd6 due to my error.
We later had to try to make up for this with ugly Content-Length checks
like in c37ad7f677. Turns out that all we
had to do was fix the returned status here back to 0. The proxy
middleware behaves the same way, and returning 0 is correct. We should
only return a status code if the response has not been written, but with
upstream servers, we do write a response; they do not know about our
error handler.
Also clarifed this in the middleware.Handler documentation.
The errors and logs can now have log rolling if provided by the user.
The current customisable parameter of it are:
The maximal size of the file before rolling.
The maximal age/time of the file before rolling.
The number of backups to keep.
If we do not use a pointer here, the startup function that opens the log file stores the log file in a copy of the handler, not the same instance of the handler, causing panics during requests, which is bad, especially when the response is gzipped: the next recover() is beyond the gzip handler, so the browser downloads a gz file instead.
