Image Server Enhancer

Overview

This is a simple Go-based server that serves images from a local directory. It provides two main API endpoints: one for retrieving a specific image by its filename and another for listing all available images in the directory.

Features

• Image Retrieval: Fetch a specific image by its filename.
• Image Listing: Get a list of all available images in the directory.
• CORS Enabled: The server is CORS-enabled, allowing requests from any origin.

Dependencies

• github.com/gorilla/mux: A powerful URL router and dispatcher for golang.
• github.com/rs/cors: A package to handle CORS requests in Go.

API Endpoints

Fetch a Specific Image

• Endpoint: /api/images/{filename}
• Method: GET
• Description: Fetches a specific image by its filename.
• Parameters:
  • filename: The name of the image file to retrieve.

List All Images

• Endpoint: /api/images
• Method: GET
• Description: Returns a JSON list of all available images in the directory.

Running the Server

• Ensure you have Go installed on your machine.
• Clone this repository.
• Navigate to the repository directory.
• Run go run main.go to start the server. The server will start on port 8086.

Directory Structure

The images to be served should be placed in the ./images directory relative to the server's location. The server currently supports .jpg and .png image formats.

Notes

Ensure the ./images directory exists and contains the images you want to serve. For security reasons, it's recommended to limit the allowed origins in the CORS settings when deploying to production.
