curl - Searching Elasticsearch with Golang -

i'm relatively new go , i'm trying search records in elastic search, below basic code have created, far i'm able perform simple request "http://10.132.0.13:9200/" , results returned expected. however, once try run more complex request fails.

below code have created far.

package main  import (  "fmt"   "io/ioutil"  "net/http" )  func main() {   //request, err := http.get(`http://10.132.0.13:9200/`) // returns test page   request, err := http.get(`http://10.132.0.13:9200/database-*/_search?pretty -d { "query": { "match": {"_all": "searchterm"}}}`)   if err != nil {   //error  }  defer request.body.close()   body, err := ioutil.readall(request.body)   fmt.println(string(body))  } 

i can query index directly use of curl -xget , returns expected results

is there way implement similar curl -xget in golang?

you can try this. submitting json data (or form data), means should using post or put. xget overrides default behavior of request. using curl switch on post , see if query still works.

package main  import (     "bytes"     "fmt"      "io/ioutil"     "net/http" )  func main() {     query := []byte(`{"query": { "match": {"_all": "searchterm"}}}`)     req, err := http.newrequest("post", "http://10.132.0.13:9200/database-*/_search?pretty", bytes.newbuffer(query))     if err != nil {         panic(err)     }     client := &http.client{}     resp, err := client.do(req)     if err != nil {         panic(err)     }     defer resp.body.close()     body, err := ioutil.readall(resp.body)     if err != nil {         panic(err)     }      fmt.println(string(body))  }
