The Go standard library comes with excellent support
for HTTP clients and servers in the net/http
package. In this example we’ll use it to issue simple
HTTP requests.
|
package main
|
|
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
|
|
func main() {
|
Issue an HTTP GET request to a server. http.Get is a
convenient shortcut around creating an http.Client
object and calling its Get method; it uses the
http.DefaultClient object which has useful default
settings.
|
resp, err := http.Get("https://gobyexample.com")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
|
Print the HTTP response status.
|
fmt.Println("Response status:", resp.Status)
|
Print the first 5 lines of the response body.
|
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(resp.Body)
for i := 0; scanner.Scan() && i < 5; i++ {
fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
}
|
|
if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
