Here is what is in my import.  Maybe I should be looking in goji instead of 
net/http?

import (
    "fmt"
    "net"
    "time"
    "strconv"
    "strings"
    "os"
    "encoding/json"
    "net/http"
    "crypto/tls"
    "crypto/rand"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
    "github.com/goji/httpauth"
    "github.com/zfjagann/golang-ring"
    "github.com/kabukky/httpscerts"
    "reflect"
    "io"
    "io/ioutil"
    "path/filepath"
    "html/template"
    "os/exec"
)
