How to know when ListenAndServe() is ready to handle connections

[Tony Worm]

I'm trying to log when a server is actually up and ready to handle connections

With ListenAndServe() only returning on error, how does one get this information.

I think what I want to know is when http://golang.org/src/pkg/net/http/server.go?s=47634:47680#L1608

reaches the infinite loop on line 1621

there doesn't seem to be a state variable which could be exposed either

ListenAndServe() is a convenience function for the most common case.

If you have less common requirements then writing your own Listen and Serve loop is trivial.

what I'll do is that before I call ListenAndServe I'll log, like

log.Println("Up and Serving")

http.ListenAndServe(port, nil)

As Jesse says, don't use ListenAndServe if you want be certain
of connecting to a newly started server.

listener, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":8080")
if err != nil { .... }
go http.Serve(listener, nil)
// now you can connect to the server without risk that it's not up.
