[go-nuts] set timeout for http get request is possible?

Yaşar Arabacı if you found the answer to this question please post here,
I would be really grateful.

Otherwise, can someone else please help me out here? How do you set the timeout of a Get request in golang?

Is there a way to set a timeout limit for net/http's client.Get()?
Currently I have this much;

func disallowRedirect(req *http.Request, via []*http.Request) error {
return errors.New("Redirection is not allowed.")
}
func somefunction(url string, timeout float64, userAgent string)
client := &http.Client(
CheckRedirect: disallowRedirect,
)
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil);
if err != nil {
return
}
req.Header.add("User-Agent", userAgent);
client.Do(req)
}

Your "timeout float64" should be a time.Duration, not a float64--- is that
float64 seconds, days, weeks?

See http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Transport and its ResponseHeaderTimeout.

For real-world HTTP use with arbitrary sites, you have to have
timeouts on everything, not just headers. Some sites quickly respond
with a header, then stall while providing the response body.
(Some content management systems do this when overloaded.)

Also, does ResponseHeaderTimeout handle stalls during SSL
negotiation? (Try "https://soton.ac.uk/". Your browser will
be stuck for minutes.)
