Go fileserver with uploads

About

This is a fileserver written in golang. As of now, this fileserver will not provide encryption or any other security measures besides logon authentication (if ran with -pass & -user flags configured) - this is just a simple fileserver. The script itself was (kinda but not really) inspired by UniIsland/SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload.py a well know python SimpleHTTPServer 'config' - however my fileserver actually works out of the box because its not from 2012 using deprecated python libraries.

As it stands, this fileserver doesn't support multiple file uploads - you can only upload one file at a time so trying to upload an array of files using curl -X POST http://IP:80 -F "upload[]=@/Users/test/a.exe" -F "upload[]=@/Users/boschko/b.dll" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" ... Moreover, this is simply not the intent / use case of this script.
