curl to Go converter

Paste a curl command to get a complete, runnable Go program using only the standard library's net/http package.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	body := strings.NewReader(`{
  "title": "Hello",
  "body": "From curl",
  "userId": 1
}`)
	req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://mockfox.dev/api/fake/posts", body)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
	req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN")

	client := &http.Client{
		CheckRedirect: func(*http.Request, []*http.Request) error { return http.ErrUseLastResponse },
	}
	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	data, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	fmt.Println(resp.Status)
	fmt.Println(string(data))
}

How to convert a curl command

1. Paste the command into the box (multi-line commands with \ continuations are fine) — or copy one from DevTools with Copy as cURL.
2. Pick the output language. The code updates as you type.
3. Copy or download the code, and check any warnings about options that can't be converted.

What the generated Go code does

• Builds the request with http.NewRequest and a strings.NewReader body, and sets each header with req.Header.Set.
• -u becomes req.SetBasicAuth; -F uploads use mime/multipart and w.FormDataContentType().
• Without -L, a CheckRedirect returning http.ErrUseLastResponse stops Go's default redirect following (up to 10 hops).
• -k sets InsecureSkipVerify: true — only for local testing, never production.

For production code, add a timeout (&http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}) — Go's default client has none — and check resp.StatusCode.
