 "net"
 )

 func main() {
 hostName := "socketloop.com"
 portNum := "80"

 conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", hostName + ":" + portNum)

 if err != nil {
 fmt.Println(err)
 return
 }

 fmt.Printf("Connection established between %s and localhost.\n", hostName)
 fmt.Printf("Remote Address : %s \n", conn.RemoteAddr().String())
 fmt.Printf("Local Address : %s \n", conn.LocalAddr().String())
