Making HTTP Requests
GET, POST with http.NewRequest and http.DefaultClient
http.Get shortcut
http.Get(url) is the simplest way to make a GET request. Always close the response body.
resp, err := http.Get("https://api.example.com/users")
if err != nil { return err }
defer resp.Body.Close()http.DefaultClient
http.Get uses the package-level DefaultClient. For production, create a custom client with timeouts set.
client := &http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}
resp, err := client.Get(url)
