Json encoder produces base64

[Shane H]

I know that it's documented that the json encoder will produce base64 "Array and slice values encode as JSON arrays, except that []byte encodes as a base64-encoded string", but I am getting a base64 response when I pass in a string

response := []string

response = append(response, "http://localhost:10000/obscured/media/f7/c3/e6/a74f71b64712bf11af31b2d027dadbe41f63313103d14a528043d66173")

w.WriteHeader(http.StatusCreated)

if err := json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(response); err != nil{

    // handle error

}

Will produce the base64 equivalent of the URL, instead of json.

Given that every time I have asked for help on this list I have discovered that it's something that I am doing wrong, I do NOT mind if someone helpfully points me toward the documentation I am misreading

Hi Shane,

This doesn't happen with your example: https://play.golang.org/p/C3zb6Qyx-2f

Can you provide a small example of when it does happen?

OMG, it was my *test* that was modifying the value... Thanks so much for your time
