req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://example.com", nil) if err != nil { // handle error } // perform the request... resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) if err != nil { // handle error } // if needed, close the request req.Close()
handler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { defer r.Close() // process the request as needed... } http.HandleFunc("/", handler) http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)In the above example, the Close function is called within a defer statement to ensure that it is always called when the handler function exits. This helps ensure that all resources are cleaned up properly and the system remains efficient. The net/http package is the package library used for these examples.
