I'm building a simple caching proxy that intercepts HTTP requests, grabs the content in response.Body, then writes it back to the client. The problem is, as soon as I read from response.Body, the write back to the client contains an empty body (everything else, like the headers, are written as expected).
Here's the current code:
func requestHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
client := &http.Client{}
r.RequestURI = ""
response, err := client.Do(r)
defer response.Body.Close()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
content, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body)
cachePage(response.Request.URL.String(), content)
response.Write(w)
}
If I remove the content, _
and cachePage
lines, it works fine. With the lines included, requests return and empty body. Any idea how I can get just the Body
of the http.Response
and still write out the response in full to the http.ResponseWriter
?
