GO-Building a simple URl Shortener

FirePakk · November 13, 2018, 9:08am

Hello guys. I am in need of some assistance building a URL shortener. I have done most of it, I only need a Handler to actually well handle the Shortened links(understand that they are connected to the normal ones and host them). I am using GO for everything, except HTML and CSS which make my web page.
@joncalhoun can you help?

Isn’t the last part to respond to all incoming requests to shortened url with a 301 moved permanently and pointing to the correct url.

Like this but different urls for different requests

gistfile1.go

package main

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"
)

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

    http.Redirect(w, r, "http://www.google.com", 301)

This file has been truncated. show original
