Golang : Issue HTTP commands to server and port example
Problem :
You want to issue or write HTTP command to a connection created by net.DialTCP()
function. How to do that?
Solution :
The net.Conn
type connection returned by net.DialTCP()
function has Write method. Use the Write method to issue HTTP command.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"net"
"os"
)
func main() {
if len(os.Args) != 2 {
fmt.Printf("Usage: %s hostname:port_number \n", os.Args[0])
os.Exit(1)
}
serviceAndPort := os.Args[1]
fmt.Println("Service : ", serviceAndPort)
tcpAddr, err := net.ResolveTCPAddr("tcp4", serviceAndPort)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
conn, err := net.DialTCP("tcp", nil, tcpAddr)
defer conn.Close()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
// issue the HTTP command
nBytes, err := conn.Write([]byte("HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("Written %v bytes\n", nBytes)
result, err := ioutil.ReadAll(conn)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Println(string(result))
}
