Question

Need your help with this
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
client := &http.Client{}
_, err := client.Get("https://www.marathonbet.com/en/")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("%s\n", err)
}
}
This always return:Get https://www.marathonbet.com/en/: net/http: TLS handshake timeout exit status 1
I`m try:
it
and use this lib
and do it
But nothing works for me..
So, please help me.
Update:
In Python 2.7 with requests this works:
s = Session()
r = s.get('https://www.marathonbet.com/en/, verify=False)
But i need do it with go(
UPD:
Fixed: Just replase https://www.marathonbet.com/en/ to https://87.117.250.213/en/ and adding skip verify.
thx all for help.

Answer 1

Here's a more detailed explanation of what's happening. When you call a domain, your HTTP client calls a DNS server. The DNS server responds with the IP of the target server. At this point everything's OK.
If it's an HTTPS connection, then it starts the TLS handshake. Here's how it works.
And this the point where you experienced the issue. The request was sent but the server didn't answer correctly (or at all). It may be caused by many factors like the server:
isn't accessible
needs more time to respond
can be hidden behind some firewall/proxy that refuses the connection
block all requests from your IP/location
etc
By providing the skip verify option and providing the explicit IP address, you skips everything I described above. It means:
if the server's IP changes your code will stop working
if someone perform a man-in-the-middle attach you won't find out about it.
It's hard to find out what's the root cause without a more deep investigation. If you want to find out what's happening, use the httptrace as #Flowchartsman suggested
