Golang example of Get and POST requests initiated using HTTP client

GET request

Get requests can be directly HTTP. The Get method is very simple.

1234567891011121314

func httpGet() {    resp, err := http.Get("http://www.01happy.com/demo/accept.php?id=1")    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    defer resp.Body.Close()    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    fmt.Println(string(body))}

One of the post requests is to use HTTP. Post mode

12345678910111213141516

func httpPost() {    resp, err := http.Post("http://www.01happy.com/demo/accept.php",        "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",        strings.NewReader("name=cjb"))    if err != nil {        fmt.Println(err)    }    defer resp.Body.Close()    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    fmt.Println(string(body))}

Tips: Using this method, the second parameter is set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", otherwise the post parameter cannot be passed.

One is to use HTTP. Postform method

1234567891011121314151617

func httpPostForm() {    resp, err := http.PostForm("http://www.01happy.com/demo/accept.php",        url.Values{"key": {"Value"}, "id": {"123"}})    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    defer resp.Body.Close()    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    fmt.Println(string(body))}

A complex request

Sometimes you need to set the header parameters, cookies and other data at the time of the request, you can use HTTP. Do method.

12345678910111213141516171819202122

func httpDo() {    client := &http.Client{}    req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", "http://www.01happy.com/demo/accept.php", strings.NewReader("name=cjb"))    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")    req.Header.Set("Cookie", "name=anny")    resp, err := client.Do(req)    defer resp.Body.Close()    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)    if err != nil {        // handle error    }    fmt.Println(string(body))}

With the above POST request, you must set Content-type as the Application/x-www-form-urlencoded,post parameter to pass normally.

If you want to initiate a head request can be directly using the HTTP client head method, relatively simple, here is no longer explained.
