[FIXED] How te send a POST with both URL parameters and a JSON body?

Issue

I found how to send a POST with URL parameters, or how to send a POST with a JSON body, but I do not know how to combine them together (a request with both a URL with parameters, and a JSON body).

The code below (which is not correct) shows the commbination I am looking for. I can use either bytes.NewBuffer(jsonStr) or strings.NewReader(parm.Encode()) but not both.

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    var jsonStr = []byte(`{"title":"my request"}`)
    parm := url.Values{}
    parm.Add("token", "hello")
    req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://postman-echo.com/post", bytes.NewBuffer(jsonStr), strings.NewReader(parm.Encode()))
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
    client := &http.Client{}
    resp, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

}

How to build a full POST call with all the components?

Solution

Use the only json as your request body, and apply the URL parameters like this:

req.URL.RawQuery = parm.Encode()

From Go doing a GET request and building the Querystring
