Gorilla Mux to handle curl request

Question

I want to use Gorilla mux to handle api requests.

Commands will be something like:

curl http://0.0.0.0:8000/api/myapiname/v1?number=10&target=google.com&message=hello

And I am serving with following handlers:

router.Methods("GET").Path("/api/myapiname/{version}").HandlerFunc(apihandler)

func apihandler(rw http.ResponseWriter, q *http.Request) {
    vars := mux.Vars(q)
    log.Println(vars["version"])
    log.Println(q.FormValue("number"))
    log.Println(q.FormValue("target"))
    log.Println(q.FormValue("message"))
}

But for the curl requests I only get the form value of number not target and message's

What is the correct way of handle api requests using Gorilla mux? Do I need sub routing?

I just want to receive any http request of form http://0.0.0.0:8000/api/myapiname/v1?number=10&target=google.com&message=hello and be able to map its key to value

THanks!

You may try to add Queries to your router, in that case you will have all vars in one map.

router.Methods("GET").Path("/api/myapiname/{version}").Queries("number", "{number:[0-9]+}", "target", "{target:[^&]+}", "message", "{message:[^&]+}").HandlerFunc(apihandler)

func apihandler(rw http.ResponseWriter, q *http.Request) {
    vars := mux.Vars(q)
    log.Println(vars["version"])
    log.Println(vars("number"))
    log.Println(vars("target"))
    log.Println(vars("message"))
}
