How do I upgrade HTTP to WebSocket connections in Go?

In Go, upgrading an HTTP connection to a WebSocket connection can be done using the `golang.org/x/net/websocket` package or the popular `github.com/gorilla/websocket` package. This allows real-time, two-way communication between the server and the client. Below is an example of how to upgrade an HTTP connection to a WebSocket connection using the Gorilla WebSocket package.


        package main

        import (
            "net/http"
            "github.com/gorilla/websocket"
            "log"
        )

        var upgrader = websocket.Upgrader{
            CheckOrigin: func(r *http.Request) bool {
                return true
            },
        }

        func handleWebSocket(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
            conn, err := upgrader.Upgrade(w, r, nil)
            if err != nil {
                log.Println(err)
                return
            }
            defer conn.Close()

            for {
                messageType, msg, err := conn.ReadMessage()
                if err != nil {
                    log.Println(err)
                    break
                }
                log.Printf("Received: %s", msg)

                if err := conn.WriteMessage(messageType, msg); err != nil {
                    log.Println(err)
                    break
                }
            }
        }

        func main() {
            http.HandleFunc("/ws", handleWebSocket)
            log.Println("Server started on :8080")
            if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil); err != nil {
                log.Fatal("ListenAndServe:", err)
            }
        }
