Go HTTP Requests for Humans™.

GET Request:

c := &http.Client{}
req := request.NewRequest(c)
resp, err := req.Get("http://httpbin.org/get")
defer resp.Body.Close()  // **Don't forget close the response body**
j, err := resp.Json()

POST Request:

req.Data = map[string]string{
	"key": "value",
	"a":   "123",
}
resp, err := req.Post("http://httpbin.org/post")

Custom Cookies:

req.Cookies = map[string]string{
	"key": "value",
	"a":   "123",
}
resp, err := req.Get("http://httpbin.org/cookies")

Custom Headers:

req.Headers = map[string]string{
	"Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate,sdch",
	"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8",
}
resp, err := req.Get("http://httpbin.org/get")

Upload Files:

f, err := os.Open("test.txt")
req.Files = []request.FileField{
	request.FileField{"file", "test.txt", f},
}
resp, err := req.Post("http://httpbin.org/post")

Json Body:

req.Json = map[string]string{
	"a": "A",
	"b": "B",
}
resp, err := req.Post("http://httpbin.org/post")
req.Json = []int{1, 2, 3}
resp, err = req.Post("http://httpbin.org/post")

others body:

// not set Content-Type
req.Body = strings.NewReader("<xml><a>abc</a></xml")
resp, err := req.Post("http://httpbin.org/post")

// form
req.Body = strings.NewReader("a=1&b=2")
req.Headers = map[string]string{
	"Content-Type": request.DefaultContentType,
}
resp, err = req.Post("http://httpbin.org/post")

Proxy:

req.Proxy = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
// req.Proxy = "https://127.0.0.1:8080"
// req.Proxy = "socks5://127.0.0.1:57341"
resp, err := req.Get("http://httpbin.org/get")

HTTP Basic Authentication:

req.BasicAuth = request.BasicAuth{"user", "passwd"}
resp, err := req.Get("http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd")

Need more control?

You can setup req.Client(you know, it's an &http.Client), for example: set timeout

timeout := time.Duration(1 * time.Second)
req.Client.Timeout = timeout
req.Get("http://httpbin.org/get")
