POST data using the Content-Type multipart/form-data

Question

I\'m trying to upload images from my computer to a website using go. Usually, I use a bash script that sends a file and a key to the server:

curl -F \"image

I have found this tutorial very helpful to clarify my confusions about file uploading in Go.

Basically you upload the file via ajax using form-data on a client and use the following small snippet of Go code on the server:

file, handler, err := r.FormFile("img") // img is the key of the form-data
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
}
defer file.Close()

fmt.Println("File is good")
fmt.Println(handler.Filename)
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println(handler.Header)


f, err := os.OpenFile(handler.Filename, os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0666)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
}
defer f.Close()
io.Copy(f, file)

Here r is *http.Request. P.S. this just stores the file in the same folder and does not perform any security checks.
