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

1. Start the server by running the Go application.
2. Access the static files by navigating to http://localhost:8080/.
3. To test the form handling, create a simple HTML form that submits data to http://localhost:8080/form.
4. 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.
