How to make an HTTPS request in Go with a self-signed or invalid certificate?
Hello everyone! I'm new to Go and working on a project where I need to send HTTPS requests to an internal development server. The problem is that this server uses a self-signed SSL certificate, and Go by default rejects such connections with the error x509: certificate signed by unknown authority.
My current code looks like this:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
resp, err := http.Get("https://internal-dev.example.com/api/data")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
I understand that for production this is bad practice
