Gorilla Websocket: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 404

I cloned the gorilla websocket chat example and updated it to use multiple rooms. However, I am getting the error: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 404 In chrome whenever I try to make the connection. My source code is available on github. It is very similar to the original example, and was only changed slightly. I don't know why it is not working.

EDIT: The problem is occuring in this line of code:

for _, name := range []string{"arduino", "java", "go", "scala"} {
    room := newRoom("go")
    http.Handle("/chat/go", room)
    go room.run()
}

Looping over a slice is causing an issue with the httphandle function. If instead, I declare them individually:

room := newRoom("go")
http.Handle("/chat/go", room)
go room.run()
...

It works. How can I fix this?

So actually from your index.html file, you connect to wrong url

<!-- index.html -->
<script>
    var serviceLocation = "ws://0.0.0.0:8080/chat/";
.....

    function connectToChatserver() {
        room = $('#chatroom option:selected').val();
        wsocket = new WebSocket(serviceLocation + room);
        // it connect to /chat/<room>, it has slash after chat

This is your url from main.go

    http.Handle("/chat"+name, room)

It will make url like this: http://localhost:8080/chatgo, rather than what you want: http://localhost:8080/chat/go

Fyi, it will error because you don't properly handle the channel, so after I send 1 message, it will be automatically closed. But this is another topic.
