The "http: panic serving" error occurs when your HTTP server handler panics, causing the server to crash or log a stack trace. To fix it, wrap your handler logic in a recover function to catch panics and return a 500 error instead of crashing the server.
func safeHandler(h http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
defer func() {
if rec := recover(); rec != nil {
http.Error(w, "Internal Server Error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
}()
h.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
// Usage:
// http.Handle("/", safeHandler(yourHandler))
