Go HTTP Server Template

This is the usual template I follow when all I need is to have a quick "just works" web server with the ability to extend it further when needed.

Your code goes to the src; your HTML pages go the pages; your JS files go to the scripts; your static content goes to static.

Code directories to consider:

• conf is a configuration file for the server to use. You can specify a port to work on, base directory where to look pages in and paths to the SSL keys. In larger projects it is bound to contain much more.
• db is where the database logic resides, base structures and helper functions to extract/add them from/to the database.
• encryption is just a bunch of helper functions to deal with BASE64 or SHA
• logger is for as-basic-as-it-gets logger usage
• server/api is where I usually write API|Page-specific handlers
• server/page contains a helper function to merge pages/base.html and any other page together
• server/server is a glue between everything there is. The actual server stuff is happening there

With some work it's possible to strip everything unneeded and to just have a static web server.

There is a modernc.org/sqlite dependency which is there only for "compile, run and see" ability. Otherwise, even if you don't use a database it won't launch. It is up to you to replace it with another driver or if you don't need it, strip src/db completely.
