The web is built on HTTP, and there's no better way to understand how something works than to implement it yourself. In this course, we'll learn the nitty-gritty details of the HTTP/1.1 protocol, and as we do so we'll actually build our own HTTP server from scratch in Golang. By the end, you'll have a deep understanding of how web transport works.
