Go web server does not process /delete/ pattern correctly -

i played google go official example writing web applications tried add functionality delete pages , has not worked. reason if pass "/delete/" parameter http.handlefunc() function 404 page not found. other "foobar" string works expected.

simplified code:

package main  import (     "fmt"     "net/http" )  func handler(w http.responsewriter, r *http.request) {     fmt.fprintf(w, "%s", r.url.path) }  func main() {     http.handlefunc("/hello/", handler)     //http.handlefunc("/delete/", handler)     http.listenandserve(":8080", nil) } 

steps reproduce:

1. compile , call http://localhost:8080/hello/world browser
2. output /hello/world
3. now comment http.handlefunc("/hello/", handler) , uncomment http.handlefunc("/delete/", handler)
4. compile , call http://localhost:8080/delete/world browser
5. result 404 page not found, expected /delete/world

question: there special meaning "/delete/" pattern? there technical reason or bug?

this works fine here, , cannot possibly work in 1 situation , not other. you're changing string "hello" string "delete" between 2 lines.

i suggest trying again more carefully. must detail elsewhere.

the real reason not checking error result of listenandserve. old copy running in background, , lack of error handling made go unperceived. browser getting results old server.
