Example
package main

"fmt"
"net/http"
)
func hello(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
// Functions serving as handlers take a http.ResponseWriter and a http.Request as arguments. The response writer is used to fill in the HTTP response. Here our simple response is just “hello\n”.
fmt.Fprintf(w, "hello\n")
}
func headers(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
// This handler does something a little more sophisticated by reading all the HTTP request headers and echoing them into the response body.
for name, headers := range req.Header {
for _, h := range headers {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "%v: %v\n", name, h)
}
}
}
func main() {
// We register our handlers on server routes using the http.HandleFunc convenience function. It sets up the default router in the net/http package and takes a function as an argument.
http.HandleFunc("/hello", hello)
http.HandleFunc("/headers", headers)
// Finally, we call the ListenAndServe with the port and a handler. nil tells it to use the default router we’ve just set up.
http.ListenAndServe(":8090", nil)
}
$ go run http-servers.go &
$ curl localhost:8090/hello
