How to read http.Response from http.Request

[Alexander Mills]

hey all I am trying to read the Response from http.Request like so:

func (ctr *Controller) Login(c *common.CPContext, req *http.Request, res http.ResponseWriter) (int, interface{}) {	defer func() {
		var code = req.Response.StatusCode;  // invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference  		if code < 400 {
			user.LoginAttempts = 0
		} else {
			user.LoginAttempts = user.LoginAttempts + 1
		}
		_, err := user.Update(ctx, db, boil.Infer())
		if err != nil {
			log.Warningf("could not save/update user model: %v", err)
		}	}()}

10:18

I am getting that error:

`invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference` -

does anyone know how to read the Response StatusCode from req.Response?

That _is_ the correct way iff req is not nil.

Check your errors first.
