Back when http was part of the standard library (I think it was eventually pulled out?), I was building a long polling server with Go and had to fix some stuff to make sure it worked properly. I can hardly believe I wrote some of these patches nearly 10 years ago[1]. With that said, I'm glad to see the Go ecosystem continue to grow. Unfortunately, I haven't used the language for much (corporate jobs were always Java, startup jobs were always JS -- and recently, it's been Python everywhere). PS: I still brag about Rob Pike & Russ Cox approving my patches ;) [1] https://github.com/golang/go/issues/93 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/93

http is still a part of the standard library, and having used it recently, I find the API good enough.

  Although the package was moved from "http" (in the linked example) to "net/http" in commit de03d502 in Nov 2011, four months before 1.0 and its compatibility promise.

This is what you "brag" about? https://codereview.appspot.com/154099/diff/20/src/pkg/http/server.go https://codereview.appspot.com/154099/diff/20/src/pkg/http/s... Thanks for contributing to OSS though! :D
