Hello.
I have a shell script that creates a random file, and prints the location of the file.
TEMP=$RANDOM.txt
touch $TEMP
echo $(pwd)/$TEMP
In the same directory, there’s a go progam that serves the generated files for download. serveFile gets the filename from exec.Command("bash", "foo.sh").Output() (foo is the name of the script). The problem is the server just returns a 404 page not found instead of the file. Why is it doing that?
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"os/exec"
)
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
out, err := exec.Command("bash", "foo.sh").Output()
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
log.Println(err)
return
}
log.Println(string(out))
http.ServeFile(w, r, string(out))
}
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/random", handler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
