Go HTTP Client
Syntax
- resp, err := http.Get(url) // Makes a HTTP GET request with the default HTTP client. A non-nil error is returned if the request fails.
- resp, err := http.Post(url, bodyType, body) // Makes a HTTP POST request with the default HTTP client. A non-nil error is returned if the request fails.
- resp, err := http.PostForm(url, values) // Makes a HTTP form POST request with the default HTTP client. A non-nil error is returned if the request fails.
Parameters
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| resp | A response of type *http.Response to an HTTP request |
| err | An error. If not nil, it represents an error that occured when the function was called. |
| url | A URL of type string to make a HTTP request to. |
| bodyType | The MIME type of type string of the body payload of a POST request. |
| body | An io.Reader (implements Read()) which will be read from until an error is reached to be submitted as the body payload of a POST request. |

Remarks
It is important to defer resp.Body.Close() after every HTTP request that does not return a non-nil error, else resources will be leaked.
