HTTP method before the endpoint

Routing Enhancements for Go 1.22

I have this in the init func for main

    http.HandleFunc("GET /posts", handlePost2)

Yet, in the browser, when http://127.0.0.1/posts is entered, it returns

404 page not found.

Am I doing something wrong? Maybe the problem lies elsewhere?

Thank you,

Roger

func handlePost2(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

    fmt.Fprint(w, "GET test handlePost2")

}

Hi,

It works on the playground at least, https://go.dev/play/p/YZbgmezjSIV

Are you sure your server is listening on port 80? That's fairly uncommon for service code and usually requires extra permissions.

If it's listening on another port, you'll have to specify that in the browser as well (see line 27 in the link above).

Your code works both in the playground and on my local machine.

I need to figure what I did wrong originally.

Thank you for helping,

Roger

If it helps someone else, :

The problem was it was using go version 1.20

Needed to change go.mod to use

go 1.22.3
