Project Description: Simple Web Server in Go

This project implements a basic web server using Go's net/http package. The server serves static files from a designated directory and provides two specific endpoints: /form and /hello.

Features

• Static File Serving: The server serves static files from the ./static directory, allowing for easy access to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript resources.
• Form Handling: The /form endpoint processes POST requests from a form, extracting name and address values from the submitted form data.
  • Returns a confirmation message along with the submitted name and address.
• Hello Endpoint: The /hello endpoint responds to GET requests with a simple "hello!" message. It also handles incorrect paths and methods by returning appropriate error messages.

Usage

• Start the server by running the Go application.
• Access the static files by navigating to http://localhost:8080/.
• To test the form handling, create a simple HTML form that submits data to http://localhost:8080/form.
• Access the hello endpoint by navigating to http://localhost:8080/hello.

Technologies Used

• Go (Golang)
• net/http package

This project serves as a foundational template for understanding HTTP request handling, form processing, and static file serving in Go.
