I'm doing a simple http GET in Go:
client := &http.Client{}
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
res, _ := client.Do(req)
But I can't found a way to customize the request header in the doc, thanks

The Header field of the Request is public. You may do this :
req.Header.Set("name", "value")
Pay attention that in http.Request header "Host" can not be set via Set method
req.Header.Set("Host", "domain.tld")
but can be set directly:
req.Host = "domain.tld":
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "", nil)
if err != nil {
...
}
req.Host = "domain.tld"
client := &http.Client{}
resp, err := client.Do(req)
If you want to set more than one header, this can be handy rather than writing set statements.
client := http.Client{}
req , err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
if err != nil {
//Handle Error
}
req.Header = http.Header{
"Host": {""},
"Content-Type": {"application/json"},
"Authorization": {"Bearer Token"},
}
res , err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
//Handle Error
}
Go's net/http package has many functions that deal with headers. Among them are Add, Del, Get and Set methods. The way to use Set is:
func yourHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Header().Set("header_name", "header_value")
}
