ctxclient package

Package ctxclient offers utilities for easing the making of http calls by handing boilerplate functions and providing for the selection of an http.Client/Transport based upon the current context. A ctxclient.Func provides the basis of the functionality via the Client and Do methods. A nil ctxclient simply returns the default client while a Func that return the ErrUseDefault will also return the default on a Client call.

The Do func simplifies making an http request by handling context timeouts and checking for non 2xx response. In the case of a non 2xx response a NotSuccess error is returned which contains the body, header and status code of the response.

var f ctxclient.Func

res, err = f.Do(ctx, req)
if err != nil {
    ...
}

Funcs may also be used to global defaults by registering a Func via the ctxclient.Register function.
