What's the elegant way of checking an error is 404 not found

[David DENG]

The error is returned by "net/http".Client.Get etc.

Thanks!

From the godoc:
"A non-2xx response doesn't cause an error."
So don't expect that you will get an error back from Get for 404.

Instead check Response.StatusCode == http.StatusNotFound, after you deal with the case when error != nil of course.

if resp.StatusCode == http.StatusNotFound {
...
}

where resp is *http.Response passed to your handler.
