How to write Go programs that use a proxy automatically according to the proxy environment variables?
The go get
itself support the standard proxy environment variables, but i'm talking about the Go program/code itself.
This blog says,
By default http.Client checks the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY variables before processes any http.Request.
I tried it, but it doesn't work for my following code:
tr := &http.Transport{
TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
}
client := &http.Client{Transport: tr}
resp, err := client.Get(url)
You can use http.ProxyFromEnvironment method
var PTransport = & http.Transport { Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment }
client: = http.Client { Transport: PTransport }
ProxyFromEnvironment returns the URL of the proxy to use for a given request, as indicated by the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof). HTTPS_PROXY takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for https requests.
I have tried below code, it works, Just add in ur proxy details in terminal.
export http_proxy='http://user:password@prox-server:3128'
export https_proxy='http://user:password@prox-server:3128'
export HTTP_PROXY='http://user:password@prox-server:3128'
export HTTPS_PROXY='http://user:password@prox-server:3128'
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"io/ioutil"
)
func main() {
var PTransport = & http.Transport {
Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment
}
client: = http.Client {
Transport: PTransport
}
req, err: = http.NewRequest("GET", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1", nil)
req.Header.Add("If-None-Match", `some value`)
resp, err: = client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
bodyBytes, err: = ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
bodyString: = string(bodyBytes)
fmt.Printf("GET Response = %s \n", string(bodyString))
}
