put and post not working about building-microservices-youtube HOT 2 OPEN

@jwaldner POST can be fixed with this update. I've checked it and it does work properly.

At the same time I struggle to make PUT work. It keeps overriding the very first product (with ID 0) and it doesn't throw any errors if I try to update some non-existing product, which I thought is already covered with var ErrInvalidProductPath = fmt.Errorf("invalid Path, path should be /products/[id]") from handlers/products.go.

@jwaldner The PUT method doesn't work as intended because we never get the real ID of a product. The ID passed in with the context is only a placeholder and equals always to zero. To access the real value, we need to extract it from the URL with the help of getProductID function, which is also used inside DELETE handler. So it can be fixed with those minor changes (all we need is to get the real product ID):

	prod := r.Context().Value(KeyProduct{}).(*data.Product)
        prod.ID = getProductID(r)
	t.l.Println("[DEBUG] updating product id", prod.ID)

	err := data.UpdateProduct(*prod)
