how to stream json to http post req

[Alexander Mills]

I have the following code:

```

b := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(""))

go func() {
for _, v := range z {

jsonStr, err := json.Marshal(&v)

if err != nil {
continue
}

b.Write([]byte(string(jsonStr) + "\n"))
}
}()


fullUrl := fmt.Sprintf("%s/%s", baseUrl, "_bulk")
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", fullUrl, b)

if err != nil {
 log.Fatal(err)
}

req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

c := http.Client{}
resp, err := c.Do(req)

```

is this the correct way to stream the body to the request?

I put the same code here for ease of reading:

The request will write whatever is in the buffer and stop there. If
you want to stream data, you can use a pipe:

rd, wr:=io.Pipe()
go func() {
defer wr.Close()
// Write data to wr
}()
req, err:=http.NewRequest("POST",URL,rd)
