Golang : Intercept and compare HTTP response code example
Problem :
You want to query a website and intercept the response code. You also want to compare the response code to a built in HTTP response codes in net/http
package. How to do that?
Solution :
Use the http.Head()
function to query a website. The return codes can be compared with the ==
operator.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"os"
)
func main() {
url := "https://www.socketloop.com"
response, err := http.Head(url)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
if response.StatusCode != http.StatusOK { // <------- here !
fmt.Printf("%s returns non-200 status code. \n", url)
fmt.Printf("The reply : %v \n", response.StatusCode)
} else {
fmt.Println(response)
}
}
Happy coding!
