I dont think this is true. I tried with this file [1], and Close returns the same error as, for example io.Copy, so again Close seems redundant. > Either way, it's also just good hygiene to *always* call `Close` on an > `io.Closer`. If a library gives you a `Close` method, it usually expects you > to call it and there's really no point in not doing it. Even with something like net/http#Head? Seems pointless in that case too. 1. https://storage.googleapis.com/go-attachment/6550/0/will_hang.gz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
