Go Serve static files

You may know the Go programming language, sometimes called Golang.

Golang is often used for network related programs. You can easily serve static files with Golang.

First import 3 modules:

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
)

The "net/http" module will give us webserver functionality. Need the "log" module for logging errors. Ok

Then create a handle function to map url requests to files served

    http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        http.ServeFile(w, r, r.URL.Path[1:])
    })

Total program:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
)

func main() {

    http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        http.ServeFile(w, r, r.URL.Path[1:])
    })

    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8082", nil))
}
