Http handler utilities for Go.

httpu provides several convenience functions to remove some of the boilerplate from top level http handlers:

```go

func Handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

  request := new(MyRequest)

  

  if httpu.DecodeJsonOr400(w, r, request, "Could not decode request") {

    // http.StatusBadRequest has been written to the response, we can now exit the handler

    return

  }

  

  result, err := DoWork(request)

  

  if httpu.Write500IfErr(err, w, "Could not process request for: %v", request.Value) {

    // http.StatusInternalServerError has been written to the response

    return

  }

  

  httpu.EncodeJsonOr400(w, result, "Could not encode response json for: %v", result.Value)

}

```

## Dependency Injection

httpu provides an interface that wraps all top level functions if you would prefer to inject the package into your project. A full example of using httpu with dependency injection is [here](https://godoc.org/github.com/clavoie/httpu#example-Impl)
