Web service Hello World

To access a Golf service on the web, you need to have a web server or load balancer (think Apache, Nginx, HAProxy etc.).

This assumes you have completed the article-hello-world-service, with a service built and tested via command line.

In this example, Nginx web server is used; edit its configuration file. For Ubuntu and similar:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Copied!

while on Fedora and other systems it might be:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Copied!

Add the following in the "server {}" section:

location /hello/ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass  unix:///home/your-user/.golf/apps/hello/sock/.sock; }

Copied!

"hello" refers to your Hello World application. Finally, restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Copied!

Now you can call your web service, from the web. In this case it's probably a local server (127.0.0.1) if you're doing this on your own computer. The URL would be:

http://127.0.0.1/hello/hello-world/name=Mike

Copied!

Note the URL request structure: first comes the application path ("/hello") followed by request path ("/hello-world") followed by URL parameters ("/name=Mike"). The result:
