Run
nim c -r -d:release server.nim

# Decoded at compile time; a const is also safe to use from the gcsafe callback.
const gif = decode("R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==")

proc handler(req: Request) {.async.} =
  if req.reqMethod == HttpGet and req.url.path == "/pixel.gif":
    let headers = newHttpHeaders({"Content-Type": "image/gif", "Cache-Control": "no-store"})
    await req.respond(Http200, gif, headers)
