Go Http Request Example

Simple http request:

// In http.go (the file extension is important)
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
    "log"
    "net/http"
)

func main() {
    resp, err := http.Get("https://google.com")

    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    defer resp.Body.Close()
    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)

    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Then run:

go run http.go
