The Hidden Danger in Go's Default HTTP Routing
In this video, I explain two ways to handle HTTP routing in Go: using http.HandleFunc and creating a custom router instance. While both approaches may seem similar, one of them introduces a significant security risk that could allow third-party packages to register unwanted routes in your application. I’ll demonstrate why this happens, how it works under the hood, and why creating your own router instance is the safer option. By the end, you’ll know the best practices for routing in Go to keep your applications secure and maintainable.
