 # Serving Static Files with HTTP

 The HTTP package provides good support for efficiently serving static files.

 This is a complete Go webserver serving static files:

 ```go
 package main

 import "net/http"

 func main() {
 	panic(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", http.FileServer(http.Dir("/usr/share/doc"))))
 }
 ```

 That example is intentionally short to make a point.  Using `panic()` to deal with an error is probably too aggressive & would produce too much output.

 See [net/http documentation](http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/) and in particular the [FileServer example](http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#example_FileServer) for a more typical example.
