wildcard route "/*" doesn't match "/"

[bionoren]

A wildcard path handler for /* does not match an empty path (i.e. /). There doesn't seem to be any way to match all paths, including the empty path (since all paths are required to start with /).

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"

	"github.com/dimfeld/httptreemux"
)

func main() {
	router := httptreemux.New()
	router.Handle(http.MethodPost, "/*", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, m map[string]string) {
		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
	})

	request := http.Request{
		URL: &url.URL{
			Scheme: "http",
			Host:   "localhost",
			Path:   "/",
		},
		RequestURI: "/",
		Method:     http.MethodPost,
	}

	_, ok := router.Lookup(nil, &request)
	if ok {
		fmt.Println("found a route")
	} else {
		fmt.Println("no route found")
	}
}

Expected: "found a route"
Actual: "no route found"

Hey, thanks for filing the issue and for the reproduction. Unfortunately I actually haven't been maintaining this library or even using Go for a few years now, so my recommendation would probably be to find another router project that is still actively maintained.
