Learn the HTTP Protocol in Go
Extra perks unlocked via skillcraft.ai link
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.
