URL handling, I'm missing a fundamental concept

[nasquam (Steven Aiello)]

Hello,

I posted a topic about my route processing not working, I thought my code was being hijacked in my program. I don’t believe that is the case now.

My route processing is acting strangely code below:

func (h userLogOut) registerRoutes() {
	http.HandleFunc("/logout", h.handleUserLogOut)
	http.HandleFunc("/logout/", h.handleUserLogOut)
}

http://192.168.198.148:8000/logout - displays the proper logout page
http://192.168.198.148:8000/logout/ - redirects to my index page
http://192.168.198.148:8000/logout/try - falls back to my logout page

I believe there is something fundamental I’m not understanding on how routes are processed in Go. Does anyone have a link to solid documentation I can read? If you understand what I’m missing a link to docs and an explanation would be fantastic.

Thank you kindly,
Steven

Using this code to test: https://play.golang.org/p/vcrgSvdgkH

If I visit / I see a

If i visit /logout I see b

If I visit /logout/ or /logout/try I see c

I suspect you have an issue with your browser caching a redirect or something else going on. Try a different browser or an incognito window or something along those lines to see if it helps.
