Golang http.NewRequest: Invalid content-type

Question

I am trying to post a struct using Go's http.POST, however I am not being succeeded with that.

Please look:

//SKUStock definition
type SkuStock struct {
    Sku string `json:"id"`;
    Quantity int64 `json:"stockQuantity"`;
}

type StockJson struct {
    Items []SkuStock `json:"skus"`;
}

After loading some data from a database, I have the following, in order to perform the POST itself:

//Sends the skuStock Information to server
func SendSkuData(stockItems []SkuStock) {

//creates a json like {"skus":[{"id":"ITEM1576","stockQuantity":995}]}
    stockPayload, err := json.Marshal(StockJson{stockItems}); 
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err);
    }

    client := &http.Client{}

    apiRequestUrl := os.Getenv("api.protocol") + "://" + os.Getenv("api.address") + "/batch/sku/stock";
    req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiRequestUrl, bytes.NewBuffer(stockPayload));
    req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
    req.SetBasicAuth(os.Getenv("api.key"), "");

    log.Printf("Request body: %s", string(stockPayload));
    log.Printf("Request %s", req);

    resp, err := client.Do(req);
    if(err != nil) {
        log.Fatal(err);
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close();

    log.Printf("Response %s", resp);

}

Unfortunately, the return I get from server is not as expected:

2015/12/08 23:42:47 Request body: {"skus":[{"id":"ITEM1576","stockQuantity":995}]}

Edit: inserted the post body(first line on program's output). If I run the request on Postman, with this body, it works as expected. Server does not check Accept header, just the Content-Type, which is already set to application/json;charset=utf-8.

What am I doing wrong? I have spent the last hours looking into this, but no luck at all.

Answer 1

After printing the response body, the following has been returned:

2015/12/09 00:32:11 Response Body {"httpStatusCode":415,"errorCode":"415","message":"Content-type:[application/json;charset=utf-8] invalido. Utilizar content-type:[application/json;charset=UTF-8]"}

From portuguese: "Invalid Content-Type. Please use application/json;charset=UTF-8.

The detail was in the case used on UTF-8 string, which should be uppercase, not lower as previously. Thanks @evanmcdonnal and @CodingPickle for support.
