GET parameter echo example

To try this example, you need GNU make and git in your PATH.

To build the example, run the following command:

$ make

To start the release in the foreground:

$ ./_rel/bin/get_echo_example console

Then point your browser at http://localhost:8080/?echo=hello. You can replace the echo parameter with another to check that the handler is echoing it back properly.

Example output

$ curl -i "http://localhost:8080/?echo=saymyname"
