Different behaviour from 1.1.2 to 1.2 in net/http

Question

Before go 1.1.2 this code printed the last log.Println an executed the code afterwards, since 1.2 I had to run http.ListenAndServe() as a seperate go routine. The changelog from 1.1.2 did not indicate any such changes nor do I know if this is the right way to have webserver running besides other code.

log.Println("Starting WebAPI Server")

http.HandleFunc("/", bot.httpHandler())
http.ListenAndServe(":8181", nil) // with preceeding "go" in 1.2 to make my program working

log.Println("Started WebAPI Server")

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but http.ListenAndServe has always blocked.
