What is the difference between "/path" and "/path/" patterns

Getting Help

Please help me to understand difference, I want to handle certain requests somthing like that

http.Handle("/html", http.HandlerFunc(renderHtml))

and what is the difference in patter “/html” and “/html/”

Paths ending with a slash match that subtree. Paths without a slash match that path only.

So /html matches /html and things like /html?foo=bar but not /html/test.

The pattern /html/ matches /html/ itself and /html/whatever/underneath. Note that it does not match /html (without the slash), but that if you haven’t registered a handler for /html (without the slash) the HTTP implementation will respond with a redirect /html -> /html/ after which the next request will match. This matches the behavior of traditional HTTP servers serving directories.
