I am trying to make a POST request but I can't get it done. Nothing is received on the other side.
Is this how it is supposed to work? I'm aware of the PostForm function but I think I can't use it because it can't be tested with httputil, right?
hc := http.Client{} req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", APIURL, nil) form := url.Values{} form.Add("ln", c.ln) form.Add("ip", c.ip) form.Add("ua", c.ua) req.PostForm = form req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") glog.Info("form was %v", form) resp, err := hc.Do(req)

learn-go (5 Part Series)Create a new folder called http-request . Open the main.go and import the necessary packages. Create a struct that models the data received from the API. Create a POST request using the method http.
Go is a language designed by Google for use in a modern internet environment. It comes with a highly capable standard library and a built-in HTTP client.
The net/http interface encapsulates the request-response pattern in one method: type Handler interface { ServeHTTP(ResponseWriter, *Request) } Implementors of this interface are expected to inspect and process data coming from the http. Request object and write out a response to the http. ResponseWriter object.
You have mostly the right idea, it's just the sending of the form that is wrong. The form belongs in the body of the request.
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, strings.NewReader(form.Encode())) I know this is old but this answer came up in search results. For the next guy - the proposed and accepted answer works, however the code initially submitted in the question is lower-level than it needs to be. Nobody got time for that.
//one-line post request/response... response, err := http.PostForm(APIURL, url.Values{ "ln": {c.ln}, "ip": {c.ip}, "ua": {c.ua}}) //okay, moving on... if err != nil { //handle postform error } defer response.Body.Close() body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body) if err != nil { //handle read response error } fmt.Printf("%s\n", string(body)) https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#pkg-overview
