Paranoidhttp provides a pre-configured http.Client that protects you from harm.
Paranoidhttp is a factory of http.Client that is paranoid againt attackers. This is useful when you craete a HTTP request using inputs from possibly malicious users.
The created http.Client protects you from connecting to internal IP ranges even though redirects or DNS tricks are used.
// use the default client for ease
res, err := paranoidhttp.DefaultClient.Get("http://www.hatena.ne.jp")
// or customize the client for yourself
client, transport, dialer := paranoidhttp.NewClient()
client.Timeout = 10 * time.Second
transport.DisableCompression = true
dialer.KeepAlive = 60 * time.Second
- Supports only IPv4 (blocks IPv6).
