Golang NewRequest passing POST parameter to the API for testing

This is my test method which creates a new request and passes POST param.

url1 := "/api/addprospect"
data := url.Values{}
data.Add("customer_name", "value")
b := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(data.Encode()))
request, err := http.NewRequest("POST", serverHttp.URL+url1, b)
res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(request)

The problem is the POST param is not getting picked up by the function handler of the url.

Can you please help me with setting up right request?

Thanks

You need to properly set the content-type header for your request.

request, err := http.NewRequest("POST", serverHttp.URL+url1, b)

request.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(request)
