使用Gorilla Mux提供静态HTML

Question

I'm using gorilla serve mux to serve static html files.

r := mux.NewRouter()
r.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.FileServer(http.Dir("./public"))).Methods("GET")

I do have a Index.html file inside the public folder as well as other html files.

When browsing the site I get all the content of the folder instead of the default Index.html.

I came from C# and I know that IIS takes Index.html as default but it is possible to select any page as a default.

I wanted to know if there's a proper way to select a default page to serve in Gorilla mux without creating a custom handler/wrapper.

Answer 1

After grabthefish mentioned it i decided to check the actual code of gorilla serve mux. This code is taken from net/http package which Gorilla mux is based on.

func serveFile(w ResponseWriter, r *Request, fs FileSystem, name string, 
redirect bool) {
const indexPage = "/index.html"

// redirect .../index.html to .../
// can't use Redirect() because that would make the path absolute,
// which would be a problem running under StripPrefix
if strings.HasSuffix(r.URL.Path, indexPage) {
    localRedirect(w, r, "./")
    return
}

the code request the index file to be index.html in lower case so renaming my index file solved it. thank you grabthefish!
