The Go programming language

HEAD requests should in my opinion have the ability to follow redirects like the implementation of GET requests does. My use case is polling several thousand severs to check if they respond with 200 status codes. Using GET requests is neither efficient in running time of the task nor for bandwidth consumption. This suggested patch changes the return signature of http.Head() to match that of http.Get(), providing the final URL in a redirect chain. `curl -IL http://google.com` follows redirects with HEAD requests just fine. Fixes #1806. R=golang-dev, bradfitz, rsc CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/4517058 |

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- Binary Distribution Notes If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path. For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile: export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin See doc/install.html for more details.
