func bodyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "could not read body: %v", err)
		return
	}
	name := strings.TrimSpace(string(b))
	if name == "" {
		name = "friend"
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, %s!", name)

	r := mux.NewRouter()
	r.HandleFunc("/hello", bodyHandler)
	http.Handle("/", r)
	if err := http.ListenAndServe("127.0.0.1:8080", nil); err != nil {
