Where to put “defer req.Body.Close()”?

Question

I have net/http handlers that have defer req.Body.Close() in each on web server side.

What is the correct place to put this in? Should I pu

Answer 1

As mentioned in the documentation, no need to explicit close it both in client and server side.

// Body is the request's body. 
// 
// For client requests, a nil body means the request has no 
// body, such as a GET request. The HTTP Client's Transport 
// is responsible for calling the Close method. 
// 
// For server requests, the Request Body is always non-nil 
// but will return EOF immediately when no body is present. 
// The Server will close the request body. The ServeHTTP 
// Handler does not need to.
