ascii-art-web

Objectives

Ascii-art-web consists in creating and running a server, in which it will be possible to use a web GUI (graphical user interface) version of your last project, ascii-art.

Your webpage must allow the use of the different banners:

• shadow
• standard
• thinkertoy

Implement the following HTTP endpoints:

1. GET /: Sends HTML response, the main page.
   1.1. GET Tip: go templates to receive and display data from the server.

2. POST /ascii-art: that sends data to Go server (text and a banner)
   2.1. POST Tip: use form and other types of tags to make the post request.\

The main page must have:

• text input
• radio buttons, select object or anything else to switch between banners
• button, which sends a POST request to '/ascii-art' and outputs the result on the page.

HTTP status code

Your endpoints must return appropriate HTTP status codes.

• OK (200), if everything went without errors.
• Not Found, if nothing is found, for example templates or banners.
• Bad Request, for incorrect requests.
• Internal Server Error, for unhandled errors.
