const Doc = `check for mistakes using HTTP responses
A common mistake when using the net/http package is to defer a function
call to close the http.Response Body before checking the error that
determines whether the response is valid:
resp, err := http.Head(url)
defer resp.Body.Close()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// (defer statement belongs here)
This checker helps uncover latent nil dereference bugs by reporting a
diagnostic for such mistakes.`
