+A common mistake when using the net/http package is to defer a function
+call to close the http.Response Body before checking the error that
+determines whether the response is valid:

+ defer resp.Body.Close()
+ if err != nil {

+
+This checker helps uncover latent nil dereference bugs by reporting a
