Golang : Save(pipe) HTTP response into a file
Problem :
You want to save or pipe a website content via http.Get()
function to a file for processing.
Solution :
Read the http response and save the body into a file via io.Copy()
function. For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io"
"net/http"
"os"
)
func main() {
response, err := http.Get("https://www.socketloop.com")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer response.Body.Close()
htmlfile, err := os.Create("file.html")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer htmlfile.Close()
// save response body into a file
io.Copy(htmlfile, response.Body)
fmt.Println("HTML data saved into file.html")
}
