Logging with builtin http FileServer

[Jon Renner]

How would I go about getting a log of traffic to the built-in http File Server?

This is what I have so far, yet it does not work (no fileserver):

Something like this (http://play.golang.org/p/6E6grsIts9) works for me locally.

Gorilla's LoggingHandler or CombinedLoggingHandler makes this very easy.

An example:

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "os"
    "github.com/gorilla/handlers"
)

func main() {
    http.Handle("/", handlers.CombinedLoggingHandler(os.Stdout, http.FileServer(http.Dir("."))))
    http.ListenAndServe(":8123", nil)
}

All the best,
Craig
