I've never seen that in 5+ years of Go.

1) You don't have to touch Content-length since it's computed. https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#ResponseWriter

2) ETAGS, expire, ect ... are not managed by the std lib, as it should not.

On 1), Looked, and yes, you're right, and it seems to have been there from the beginning. I think I may have been thinking of node.js on the Content-length having to be a deliberate action.
