HEIC support?

[sarnobat]

Are there any plans to support the HEIC image format which Apple iPhone uses?

This tool was working beautifully for my workflow until I realized this. More so than other image proxying tools.

No immediate plans, but I'm not fundamentally opposed to it. The problem is the same as with webp (#114), which is that there is no native Go library that supports it, and I'm avoiding cgo in this project right now.

The above issue has some discussion about a one-day-maybe rearchitecture of imageproxy that would make it possible to write plugins similar to caddy. That issue also discusses other projects that might work better for some use cases, but it sounds like you may have explored some of those already.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully someone will create a native Go library for this in the near future.

Since this tool is so nice as it is I'm not sure whether rearchitecture would spoil that. I've had a bad experience with runtime dependencies (which is why I like golang's static linking).
