Standard Library http package logs to stdout by default, can I disable this?

When using the built-in http module in Go, I notice that http.ListenAndServe() will make logging calls to stdout by default. The main thing showing up in my terminal is:

http: TLS handshake error from x.x.x.x:x: tls: client offered an unsupported, maximum protocol version of 301.

Now I understand what this error is and what causes it, but the fact of the matter is, I don't particularly care.

How can I stop the http package (or ListenAndServe(), whatever) from logging to stdout by default? It's clogging up my pretty console. I'm 95% certain that I'm not the one logging the messages as all of the logs I have setup have "INFO", "WARNING" etc prefixes on them.

It doesn't log to stdout, it logs to the http server's ErrorLog if it's set, and to the standard logger (the one used by the non-method functions in log) otherwise. If you have a logger already, construct a http.Server with that logger as its ErrorLog and call ListenAndServe on that. Otherwise use log.SetOutput to change the destination of the standard log.
