How to execute a HEAD Request in GO?

Question

I want to get the content length of a page using GO net/http? I can do this in terminal using curl -i -X HEAD https://golang.org and then check the content-length field.

Answer 1

use http.Head()

res, err := http.Head("https://golang.org")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
contentlength:=res.ContentLength
fmt.Printf("ContentLength:%v",contentlength)
