HELLO, WORLD!

This is a tiny GO program (and 3MB Docker image) that...

1. Waits for a data on port 8080
2. Looks for a \r\n\r\n sequence (indicating end of an HTTP packet)
3. Spits out the "Hello, World!" (or program's arguments as text) HTTP response...
4. ... and immediately close the conneciton.

Hello, World!

You'd be surprised the amount of time you can save with this when setting disparate parts of your application services!

USAGE

$ docker pull hyperworks/hello
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 hyperworks/hello

Or create a named container:

$ docker pull hyperworks/hello
$ docker create --name hello -p 8080:8080 hyperworks/hello
$ docker start hello

Or, even better, create TEN hello world services!

$ docker pull hyperworks/hello
$ for i in {0..9}
  do
    docker create --name hello$i -p 808$i:8080 hyperworks/hello Hello from node $i
    docker start hello$i
  done

• Misc testing uses when setting up microservices.

BUILD

Runs the ./build.sh script to produce a working binary, then run your usual docker build command which
