I writing a simple HTTP client using the new context support in Go 1.7. I need to test it in case a timeout is specified and expires, but I'm having problems.
The context package defines the Cancel error variable, that is returned by Context.Err when the context is canceled. However the Transport.Roundtrip method returns errRequestCanceled or errRequestCanceled, making it impossible to check if error was due to request cancelation. What about adding an `IsCanceled(err error) bool` function to the context package, and redefine the errRequestCanceled and errRequestCanceled so that context.IsCanceled returns true? Right now I'm checking if the error message contains the string "canceled". Thanks Manlio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
