[go-nuts] if i catch resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK and return early from my function, do i still have to close resp.Body??

Yes, always close the body in order to ensure the network connection is 
released. If you want to be able to reuse the connection, you should attempt to 
consume the body as well.

[go-nuts] if i catch resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK and return early from my function, do i still have to close resp.Body??

[evan]

in the code snippet below which is inside a function, is "defer 
resp.Body.Close() " in the appropriate position?
am i required to always do a  resp.Body.Close()?
...
resp, err := client.Do(req)

log.Printf("resp: %+v\n", resp)
if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
return errors.NewHTTPError(resp.StatusCode)
}

defer resp.Body.Close()
