Closed last year.
I'm creating a reverse proxy in Golang and I'm having trouble trying to grab online examples on how to add HTTP headers to an API call.
Here is my API call:
package handlers
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"log"
"net/http"
)
func (s *Server) getApiCall(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
resp, err := http.Get("https://url.com")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
//We Read the response body on the line below.
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
//Convert the body to type string
sb := string(body)
log.Printf(sb)
fmt.Fprintf(w, sb)
}
Where in my function can I add an Authorization header with the a Bearer <TOKEN> as its value?
I'm new with Go, to my understanding this should be enough code, but if you need more detail about my backend just add a comment in what needs clarification.

You can't use http.Get, instead use http.NewRequest to create a request object then add the headers to it.
One example:
client := &http.Client{}
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://url.com", nil)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer ...")
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
For more details take a look at http package doc.
