Method Checks

Handlers often accept one HTTP method and reject others.

package main

import "fmt"

type serverRequest struct {
	Method string
	Path   string
}

func main() {
	var method = 
	req := serverRequest{Method: method, Path: "/items"}
	status := 200
	body := "list items"

	if req.Method == "POST" {
		status = 201
		body = "created item"
	}
	if req.Method != "GET" && req.Method != "POST" {
		status = 405
		body = "method not allowed"
	}

	fmt.Println("method=", req.Method)
	fmt.Println("status=", status)
	fmt.Println("body=", body)
}

method check Checking a method keeps read and write actions separate.
