# Simple Golang HTTP Server

Runs a simple golang http server on port 8080.  Responds to requests with `Hello, World`, but when the `Accept` header specifies `application/json` as supported it will respond with a json formatted message that says `Good Morning`.  If the `-debug` parameter is specified it will log each request URL.

## Prerequisites

* Golang 1.12.4 - https://golang.org/doc/install

* Curl

## Setup instructions, including instructions on how to install prerequisite packages

* `go get github.com/sstarcher/simple-http`

* `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/sstarcher/simple-http`

* `GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor`

## A command to start the application

* `go run .`

## A command to run the unit tests for your application

* `go test ./...`

## Options

* `-debug` - Will enable debug logging and output each request

## Tests

* Non-json responses of `
Hello, World
`

  * `curl 'http://localhost:8080'`

  * `curl 'http://localhost:8080/'`

  * `curl -H 'Accept: bob' 'http://localhost:8080'`

* Json responses of `{"message": "Good Morning"}`

  * `curl -H 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:8080'`

  * `curl -H 'Accept: application/json,text/html' 'http://localhost:8080'`

  * `curl -H 'Accept: text/html,application/json' 'http://localhost:8080'`

* Empty responses

  * `curl 'http://localhost:8080/blah/other?and=things&other=stuff'`

  * `curl -H 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:8080/blah/other?and=things&other=stuff'`

  * `curl 'http://localhost:8080/blah/other?and=things&other=stuff'`


## Assumptions

* GET and POST methods are both accepted.  POST is not specified as to what it should do so it's blank.

* GET method only returns data on `/` and is ignored with any parameters.

* Debug logging should happen on all HTTP methods not just GET.

* When `application/json` is specified as one of the `Accept` headers we respond with json.  We behave the same way if multiple comma seperated `Accept` headers are specified.
