Why not just use go http.ListenAndServe(":8001", &fooHandler{}) ?

With the necessary error handling, the code should look like this:

go func() {
    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", server))
}()
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServeTLS(":8443", "server.crt", "server.key", server))

@brtn because it allows you to pass data into the handler
