Learning Go – Miniblog #10 – HTTP Servers
This carries on from here, and started here.
OK, time to look at how to write the HTTP server piece of the project. A quick trawl through the package documentation reveals that the library does indeed provide an HTTP server implementation, but as usual the documentation is extremely terse, and the few examples are nor all that good. Better is this article in the documentation tree. Adapting the code in the article, I came up with this:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
func csvHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "CSV stuff [%s]", r.URL.Path[5:])
}
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/csv/", csvHandler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
This uses the default HTTP server implementation (called http), and says that any URLs that begin with /csv/ should be handled by the csvHandler function. For the moment, I just print out the remainder of the URL path after the /csv/ string. It then starts listening for requests on port 8080.
I now need to decide what kind of URLs I’m going to support. A bit of thought came up with this scheme; this specific URL /csv/index will display an index of the CSV files that I’m going to serve, where the names of the files will be hyperlinks using the second type of URL, which will look like /csv/data/filename.csv. OK, lets see if I can get that working…
