Yu(Go)Server

A golang-based minimalistic web server with template support, but no hub caps, no power windows.

Start Yu(Go)Server with output that redirects stdout and stderr to your logfile(s), like so:

$ cd <directory_to_serve_from>
$ ./yugo_server >access.log 2>error.log &

Yu(Go)Server can also be embedded easily; have a look at the unit test. Also supported is the ServeHTTP interface for testing.

• Multiple host support is accomplished via the existence of host-named folders (./foo.com for instance).
• Basic template support is accomplished by adding a template_data.json file containing the data object used in parsing. See the test_fixtures directory for an example.
• Using ApacheBench, YugoServer manages over 3,900 requests/sec (template parses) on OSX, over 2,000 on a Linux Micro EC2 instance on Amazon.

This software is a very minimal implementation of HTTP. There are tons of features that should be implemented before it would be suitable for production environments.

Example of running from the command line:

package main

import (
	"os"
	"yugo_server"
)

var server *yugo_server.YugoServer

func main() {
	workingDir, _ := os.Getwd()
	server = yugo_server.NewServer(8090, workingDir)
	if err := server.Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
}
