Difference between functioning of net.Listen and http.ListenAndServe
I'm new to Go and Networking. I know both net.Listen and http.ListenAndServe creates a server. But what is the difference between their functionality?

Basically, as the documentation says for net.Listen: The network must be "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", "unix" or "unixpacket".
While http.ListenAndServe creates an HTTP server.
