Serving multiple directories is not working

Question

Is there any way to serve multiple directory using fasthttp framework? I wrote the below code for the same purpose. But, this code is not working as I expected. When I access localhost:8080/path1, It throws error and warnings,

Cannot open requested path

2017/10/13 16:57:01 0.977 #0000000100000001 - 127.0.0.1:8080<->127.0.0.1:48870 - GET http://localhost:8080/path1 - cannot open file "/home/test/path1": open /home/test/path1/path1: no such file or directory

I don't know how this url(/home/test/path1) redirects to (/home/test/path1/path1). What is wrong with the below code ?

requestHandler := func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
        var fs fasthttp.FS
        switch string(ctx.Path()) {
        case "/path1":
            fs = fasthttp.FS{
                Root:       "/home/test/path1",
                IndexNames: []string{"index.html"},
            }
        case "/path2":
            fs = fasthttp.FS{
                Root:       "/home/test/path2",
                IndexNames: []string{"index.html"},
            }
        }
        fsHandler := fs.NewRequestHandler()
        fsHandler(ctx)
    }

    if err := fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":8080", requestHandler); err != nil {
        fmt.Println("error in ListenAndServe: %s", err)
    }

Nothing is wrong, works exactly as you wrote it: Root of webserver: /home/test/path1. You request http://bla/path1. This in turn translates into: http://bla/ -> /home/path/path1/index.html. http://bla/path1 -> /home/path/path1/path1/index.html.

Ow yeah, in case of serving 2 directories - yes you can, just as any other normal HTTP server would, they just need to have the same Root. Otherwise look into virtual hosts support.

The default golang's http server has solved this problem - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43600768/multiple-dir-serving-is-not-working/43600923#43600923 - FYI – sprabhakaran Oct 13 '17 at 12:09
The default golang's HTTP server implementation in that question is completely different from what are you doing code-wise in this example. There you have 2 different handler instances. Here you want to serve 2 different directories with 1 handler. – favoretti Oct 13 '17 at 12:11
