Context in Verilog

Here’s the translation of the Go code to Verilog, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:

In Verilog, we don’t have direct equivalents for HTTP servers or context management as in high-level programming languages. However, we can demonstrate a similar concept using a simple module that simulates a request-response scenario with a timeout mechanism.

module http_server(
    input wire clk,
    input wire reset,
    input wire request,
    output reg [7:0] response,
    output reg response_valid
);

    // States
    localparam IDLE = 2'b00;
    localparam PROCESSING = 2'b01;
    localparam RESPOND = 2'b10;
    localparam TIMEOUT = 2'b11;

    reg [1:0] state;
    reg [3:0] counter;

    always @(posedge clk or posedge reset) begin
        if (reset) begin
            state <= IDLE;
            counter <= 0;
            response <= 8'b0;
            response_valid <= 0;
        end else begin
            case (state)
                IDLE: begin
                    if (request) begin
                        state <= PROCESSING;
                        counter <= 0;
                        $display("server: hello handler started");
                    end
                end

                PROCESSING: begin
                    if (counter == 10) begin
                        state <= RESPOND;
                        response <= "H";  // ASCII for 'H'
                        response_valid <= 1;
                    end else if (counter == 15) begin
                        state <= TIMEOUT;
                    end else begin
                        counter <= counter + 1;
                    end
                end

                RESPOND: begin
                    state <= IDLE;
                    response_valid <= 0;
                    $display("server: hello handler ended");
                end

                TIMEOUT: begin
                    state <= IDLE;
                    response <= "T";  // ASCII for 'T' (Timeout)
                    response_valid <= 1;
                    $display("server: context canceled");
                    $display("server: hello handler ended");
                end
            endcase
        end
    end

endmodule

This Verilog module simulates a simple HTTP server with the following behavior:

It waits for a request signal.
When a request is received, it enters a processing state.
If processing completes within 10 clock cycles, it responds with ‘H’ (for “Hello”).
If processing takes longer than 15 clock cycles, it times out and responds with ‘T’ (for “Timeout”).

To test this module, you would need to create a testbench that provides clock, reset, and request signals, and monitors the response. The testbench could simulate both successful requests and timeouts.

This example demonstrates concepts similar to the original code:

Handling requests (simulated by the request input)
Processing that takes time (simulated by the counter)
Timeout mechanism (simulated by the TIMEOUT state)
Cancellation (simulated by the transition to TIMEOUT state)

While this is not a direct translation of the HTTP server functionality, it provides a similar conceptual structure in the context of hardware description languages like Verilog.
