// The Go standard library comes with excellent support
// for HTTP clients and servers in the `net/http`
// package. In this example we'll use it to issue simple
// HTTP requests.
package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {

	// Issue an HTTP GET request to a server. `http.Get` is a
	// convenient shortcut around creating an `http.Client`
	// object and calling its `Get` method; it uses the
	// `http.DefaultClient` object which has useful default
	// settings.
	resp, err := http.Get("http://gobyexample.com")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	// Print the HTTP response status.
	fmt.Println("Response status:", resp.Status)

	// Print the first 5 lines of the response body.
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(resp.Body)

		fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
