Rendering CSS in a Go Web Application

I wrote a very basic web application, following this tutorial. I want to add css rules in an external stylesheet, but it's not working - when the HTML templates are rendered, something goes wrong and the CSS is completely ignored. If I put the rules in <style> tags, it works, but I don't want to have to deal with that.

In a Go web application, how do I render an external CSS stylesheet?

Add a handler to handle serving static files from a specified directory.

eg. create {server.go directory}/resources/ and use

http.Handle("/resources/", http.StripPrefix("/resources/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("resources")))) 

along with /resources/somethingsomething.css

The reason for using StripPrefix is that you can change the served directory as you please, but keep the reference in HTML the same.

eg. to serve from /home/www/

http.Handle("/resources/", http.StripPrefix("/resources/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("/home/www/"))))

Note that this will leave the resources directory listing open.
If you want to prevent that, there is a good snippet on the go snippet blog:

Edit: Posterous is now gone, so I just pulled the code off of the golang mailing list and will post it here.

type justFilesFilesystem struct {
    fs http.FileSystem
}
func (fs justFilesFilesystem) Open(name string) (http.File, error) {
    f, err := fs.fs.Open(name)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    return neuteredReaddirFile{f}, nil
}
type neuteredReaddirFile struct {
    http.File
}
func (f neuteredReaddirFile) Readdir(count int) ([]os.FileInfo, error) {
    return nil, nil
}

And use it like this in place of the line above:

 fs := justFilesFilesystem{http.Dir("resources/")}
 http.Handle("/resources/", http.StripPrefix("/resources/", http.FileServer(fs)))
