HTTP requests in Golang

http.go

// GET: Send the request
res, err := http.Get("http://example.com/api/someContext")
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
}

// Read HTTP response into []byte
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
}
res.Body.Close()

// Map into into a meaningful type
err = json.Unmarshal(body, &someType)




// POST: Define the form values
values := url.Values{
	"someValue": thatValue,
	"someOtherValue": thatOtherValue,
}

// Send the request
res, err := http.PostForm("http://example.com/api/someContext", values)
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
}
res.Body.Close() // Assuming we ignore the result, otherwise see HTTP GET
