bodyclose
A static analysis tool for Go that checks whether HTTP response bodies are properly closed to enable TCP connection reuse.
What is bodyclose?
bodyclose is a static analysis tool for Go that checks whether HTTP response bodies are properly closed in code. It solves the problem of resource leaks and blocked TCP connection reuse that occurs when developers forget to call `resp.Body.Close()` after making HTTP requests.
Go developers building HTTP clients or services that make external API calls, particularly those concerned with performance and resource management.
Developers choose bodyclose because it integrates seamlessly with Go's standard tooling (`go vet`), automatically enforces a critical best practice, and helps prevent subtle bugs that affect application performance and stability.
Overview
Analyzer: checks whether HTTP response body is closed and a re-use of TCP connection is not blocked.
Use Cases
Best For
- Identifying unclosed HTTP response bodies in Go codebases
- Preventing TCP connection leaks in long-running Go services
