Go http.NewServerMux()

This program demonstrates how to create a custom HTTP request multiplexer using http.NewServeMux() instead of relying on the default mux. It defines two custom types (pageDog and pageCat) that each implement the http.Handler interface by providing a ServeHTTP method. The custom mux routes /dogs/ and /cats to their respective handlers.

package main

import (
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

type pageDog int

func (pd pageDog) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	io.WriteString(w, "This is the web about dogs!\n")
}

type pageCat []string

func (pc pageCat) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)  {
	io.WriteString(w, "This is the web about cats!\n")
}

func main() {

	var dogs pageDog
	var cats pageCat

	mux := http.NewServeMux()
	mux.Handle("/dogs/", dogs)
	mux.Handle("/cats", cats)

	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mux)

}
