Using NewRequest
just to create an URL is an overkill. Use the net/url
package:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/url"
)
func main() {
base, err := url.Parse("http://www.example.com")
if err != nil {
return
}
// Path params
base.Path += "this will get automatically encoded"
// Query params
params := url.Values{}
params.Add("q", "this will get encoded as well")
base.RawQuery = params.Encode()
fmt.Printf("Encoded URL is %q\n", base.String())
}
