Error following along with tutorial (bad URL parsing)

[tobowers]

I was just trying to follow along with https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/blob/master/doc/go-tour.md and the following minimal code:

package main

import (
"fmt"
"os"

    "github.com/attic-labs/noms/go/spec"
)

func main() {
    sp, err := spec.ForDatabase("http://localhost:8000::people")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Could not access database: %s\n", err)
        return
    }
    defer sp.Close()

    sp.GetDatabase()

}

produces the following error:

$ go run main.go

Running $ noms log http://localhost:8000::people produces similar error

[aboodman]

http://localhost:8000::foo specifies a dataset (the foo dataset of the database at http://localhost:8000).

But you used ForDatabase(), so that's an invalid database spec. The error message should be better sorry about that.

Thank you! I didn't notice the difference in the two parts of the tutorial and only copied the bottom.
