Setting up proxy for HTTP client

Question

I\'m trying to setup the HTTP client so that it uses a proxy, however I cannot quite understand how to do it. The documentation has multiple reference to \"proxy\" but none

Answer 1

Go will use the the proxy defined in the environment variable HTTP_PROXY if it's set. Otherwise it will use no proxy.

You could do it like this:

os.Setenv("HTTP_PROXY", "http://someip:someport")
resp, err := http.Get("http://example.com")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
