It's finally time to dig into some code. Since Go is very well-suited for building modern web software, writing an HTTPS web server is easy. Let's begin by reviewing the piece of code we wrote in the preceding chapter to establish an HTTP web server:
http.ListenAndServe(endpoint, r)
It was a single line of code, a function called ListenAndServe(), which belongs to the HTTP Go package in the standard library.
