Best way to read image from URL into image.Decode()

[Douglas Fils]

I'm new to Go so this has me a bit confused.

I can read an image off the net with:

res, err = http.Get("URL HERE")

f, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

but I need that in 

m, _, err := image.Decode(f)

but f is a []byte not the expect type io.Reader

There is obviously a way to read the []byte as io.Reader but I'm really confused trying to find it.

Peter,

  Thanks!   works perfectly..     I'll check out newReader too.   Appreciate the help!

Take care

The response body is an io.Reader.  Use the body directly instead of slurping it up into a byte slice.  

res, err = http.Get("URL HERE")

if err != nil || res.StatusCode != 200 {

    // handle errors

}

defer res.Body.Close()

m, _, err := image.Decode(res.Body)

if err != nil {

   // handle error

}
