When I use the default router from http
everything works, but if I use the router from gorilla/mux
instead, I get a 404 page with the body 404 page not found
. As shown in the samples below, everything else is exactly the same.
Why doesn't the gorilla/mux
router work like this?
Working correctly, using http
routing:
package main
import "net/http"
func simplestPossible(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("MWE says OK"))
}
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", simplestPossible)
http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil)
}
Not working, using gorilla/mux
routing:
package main
import "net/http"
import "github.com/gorilla/mux"
func simplestPossible(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("MWE says OK"))
}
func main() {
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/", simplestPossible)
http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil)
}
