// In the previous example we looked at setting up a simple
// [HTTP server](http-servers). HTTP servers are useful for
// demonstrating the usage of `context.Context` for
// controlling cancellation. A `Context` carries deadlines,
// cancellation signals, and other request-scoped values
// across API boundaries and goroutines.
package main

"fmt"
"net/http"
"time"
)
func hello(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
// A `context.Context` is created for each request by
// the `net/http` machinery, and is available with
// the `Context()` method.
ctx := req.Context()
fmt.Println("server: hello handler started")
defer fmt.Println("server: hello handler ended")
// Wait for a few seconds before sending a reply to the
// client. This could simulate some work the server is
// doing. While working, keep an eye on the context's
// `Done()` channel for a signal that we should cancel
// the work and return as soon as possible.
