Responding to requests via simple route matching is built in to Go's net/http standard library package. Just register the path prefixes and callbacks you want invoked and then call the ListenAndServe to have the default request handler invoked on each request. For example:
package main
import (
| // keepDoingSomething will keep trying to doSomething() until either | |
| // we get a result from doSomething() or the timeout expires | |
| func keepDoingSomething() (bool, error) { | |
| timeout := time.After(5 * time.Second) | |
| tick := time.Tick(500 * time.Millisecond) | |
| // Keep trying until we're timed out or got a result or got an error | |
| for { | |
| select { | |
| // Got a timeout! fail with a timeout error | |
| case <-timeout: |
