#import "http_server";

main :: () {
  http_listen(port=80);

  // log every request
  any("*", (request: *Request) { mylog(request.method, request.path); });

  // using path parameters
  get("/hello/:name", (request: *Request) {
    send_html(request, tprint("Hello %!", request.params["name"]));
  });

  // serve static files from the public folder
  static("public");

  // websocket chat server
  ws_server := websocket_listen("/chat");
  ws_server.onmsg = (ws: *Websocket, msg: string) { ws.broadcast(ws, msg); };
}
