go-server

A simple HTTP Server written in Go Language

###Setup Go (for Ubuntu users):

1. Download the archive from https://golang.org/dl/
2. Extract it to /usr/local/
   tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz
3. Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable by adding this to the last line of your /etc/profile or $HOME/.profile:
   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
4. Create a directory to contain your workspace, $HOME/golang , and set the GOPATH environment variable to point to that location in similar manner as point 3.
   export GOPATH=$HOME/golang

###Get the source code: Simply do a go get github.com/aashaka/go-server in the directory $HOME/golang you just made.

###Run the server: Simply do a go install and then $GOPATH/bin/go-server in the $HOME/golang/src/github.com/aashaka/go-server directory.

The server runs at port 1200.

###TODOs:

1. Add code to serve different pages. Currently the server takes only GET methods and serves only index.html.
