If you’ve read any of the Go Documentation there are a couple of examples of howto use “http” package. In particular if you’ve read the Effective Go Doc there’s an example that’s very similar to this implementation.

Starting with the Boilerplate example we need to add an import for “http” and add a couple of line to func main. to end up with the following :

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"http"
)

func main(){
	fmt.Printf("Starting http Server ... ")
	http.Handle("/", http.HandlerFunc(sayHello))
	err := http.ListenAndServe("0.0.0.0:8080", nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("ListenAndServe Error :" + err.String())
	}

func sayHello(c *http.Conn, req *http.Request) {
	fmt.Printf("New Request\n")
	c.Write([]byte("<h1>Go Say's Hello</h1><h2>(Via http)</h2>"))
	c.Flush()
}
