Reusing http connections in Go

Ensure that you read until the response is complete AND call Close().

e.g.

res, _ := client.Do(req)
io.Copy(ioutil.Discard, res.Body)
res.Body.Close()

Again… To ensure http.Client connection reuse be sure to:

• Read until Response is complete (i.e. ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body))
• Call Body.Close()
