go-HTTPC - A Golang HTTP Client (Beta)

The httpc package is a robust HTTP client for Go, equipped with features such as retry logic, custom headers, form values, and basic authentication settings. It utilizes a retryable transport structure to manage request retries effectively, enhancing the reliability of HTTP requests in Go applications.

    opts := []httpc.HttpClientOptions{
    httpc.WithMaxRetries(3),
    httpc.WithMaxRetryWait(3), //seconds
    }

    client := httpc.NewHttpClient(opts...)

    URL : = "https://thiagozs.com"

    resp, err := client.Get(URL)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("error: %+v\n",err)
        return
    }
