each is tried in turn when downloading. For example, a Git
download tries git://, then https://, then http://.
If the import path is not a known code hosting site and also lacks a
version control qualifier, the go tool attempts to fetch the import
over https/http and looks for a <meta> tag in the document's HTML
<head>.
The meta tag has the form:
<meta name="go-import" content="import-prefix vcs repo-root">
The import-prefix is the import path correponding to the repository
root. It must be a prefix or an exact match of the package being
fetched with "go get". If it's not an exact match, another http
request is made at the prefix to verify the <meta> tags match.
The vcs is one of "git", "hg", "svn", etc,
The repo-root is the root of the version control system
containing a scheme and not containing a .vcs qualifier.
For example,
import "example.org/pkg/foo"
will result in the following request(s):
https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1 (preferred)
http://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1 (fallback)
If that page contains the meta tag
<meta name="go-import" content="example.org git https://code.org/r/p/exproj">
the go tool will verify that https://example.org/?go-get=1 contains the
same meta tag and then git clone https://code.org/r/p/exproj into
GOPATH/src/example.org.
New downloaded packages are written to the first directory
listed in the GOPATH environment variable (see 'go help gopath').
